I am no expert, but I believe that host distro is arbitrary... you can
use whichever you like the best.<br>

<pre wrap="">When I did a "df" on astlinux 0.45 there were about 61MB used and 5MB
free on the CF card. I used a 128MB card, but since this is an image
the rest of the space is "wasted". I had added a few small binaries
for trying pppoe which is still a mystery to me, but normally you
would have a little more free space I guess.
I doubt you will get by with a 32MB card unless you remove some stuff
first. The developers might be able to tell you what can go.

Marcus,
The rest of the space is not wasted...
Distributing an image makes AstLinux easier to install but that is not the
only way it can be installed... Here are a couple of strategies to reclaim
your "wasted" space:
1) Create another partition. You can edit the partition table on your
flash card to create another partition to use as either a keydisk or
anything else you want.
2) Partition the drive yourself using the files from the image:
(on another Linux system)
mkdir /mnt/image
mount -t ext2 -o loop,offset=32256 AstLinux-image.img /mnt/image fdisk [your
flash device] (create a partition of your liking) mke2fs [your flash device
partition] mkdir /mnt/flash cp -a /mnt/image/* /mnt/flash/ umount /mnt/image
/mnt/flash (install GRUB on your flash device)
Boot!
3) Resize the image using something like GParted. I haven't ever done this
with an AstLinux image, but I have used gparted with great success in the
past.
4) Build your own image and make anything you want. The other developers
and I work very hard to make the development environment available. There
has been a lot of progress (especially in trunk) on making the development
environment easier to use and more reliable (I now test it across three
different systems regularly).
To answer the original question... No, for 0.4.5 you will need a 64mb
flash card. I am sorry about this but we really needed to get the release
out (with various Asterisk security problems, etc) and we didn't want to
remove any features.
I spent quite a bit of time last week working on the new bootloader for
0.5. From what it looks like now, it should be possible to get the current
image into 32mb (with bootloader), although I can't recommend it because it
won't leave you much room for upgrading...
There didn't seem to be much demand to keep AstLinux under 32mb...
If there is, perhaps I can start to make a "micro" version (for lack of a
better name) that would always fit in the original 32mb.
