I kind of dont like the fact that it needs internet during the install, I many times load machines where there is no broadband.

How large are the addons that it loads? It would be nice to bundle those.

Hi

There are plenty of other ISO's out there which are self contained, maybe one of them would be more suitable for you.

Alternatively, you could install manually by inserting the pbx_load after the ISO install.

The FreePBX modules are delivered by broadband by design of the FreePBX team. If you want to put these in manually, then you can - just insert the tar files into /var/www/html/admin/modules/_cache then untar them the /var/www/html/admin/modules directory.

I have noticed that the zaptel installation now goes up to the internet to get some components, so I think that doing a complete install without broadband is going to be more and more impractical.

Yours

Joe

If you're loading or running telephony systems without broadband, then PBX in a Flash and FreePBX are definitely not going to be your cup of tea. After all, broadband is the primary reason we're all using Asterisk in the first place. Sorry. :cool:

But here's an idea for you. Build up the system you need with PBX in a Flash AND broadband. Then load Tom's backup script and make an ISO backup of your complete system and burn it to disk. Now you can take that self-contained backup disk and build your other systems. Perhaps that will better meet your needs. It also moves the headache of new, weekly ISO builds from our plate to yours. ;)
