Well, i dont know about that.
In our experience with Limey Linux (very small footprint) there is still room for a mostly complete distro.
On a host, there is plenty of disk space.
I realize that these distros are mainly for radio/repeater use, BUT that not all they are used for. I know
someone (DMK, the URI dude, actually) that just got a Limey Linux box running as his phone system (I know,
I had to get mpg123 compiled for it for his music on hold). I had him noload the app_rpt and chan_usbradio
modules, and it really does make a nice small CHEAP phone system.
So I think that keeping this stuff as generally useful as possible is the best thing.
Just my opinion..

Steve/group,
With all that being said (asterisk forked), what could we strip out and still have core functionality strictly from the radio and allstar network access aspect? My app_rpt install is solely for this project alone, I entertained the idea of turning it into a full fledged PBX, but your right it can cause problems and I think I am better off with a stand alone install for that.
I'm not sure how much interest or what level of work an undertaking like that would take, but to have a slimmed down Asterisk version specifically for this project would be a great idea.

Your strategy is not advised. For two reasons.
--one--
The latest Digium sources are not compatible with app_rpt and the
usb driver, Getting Digium to incorporate our changes to fix this
has been next to impossible.
Our solution was to use a patched copy of asterisk 1.4.23-pre and
build our system off of that. Yes, we have technically forked
Asterisk, but we had no choice.
--two-
Running a radio system and a phone system off of the same box is
just asking for trouble. If the radio system goes down, so does your
phone system. I learned this one the hard way a few years ago when
my system was configured in this manner. I now run two separate
servers to avoid getting complaints form family members when my
experiments
on the radio system go amok. Also, the phone system works much
better with DTMF_RELAX configured to be disabled.
The sources for the version of Asterisk with all necessary patches
and the latest app_rpt.c and usb channel driver are available via
SVN from the developers section of my site at
