FreeSWITCH now compiles in AsLinux:
AstLinux with the new bootloader Runnix (or you could just use syslinux) boots from flash. It also boots from PXE, ISO, disk, etc. Pretty much anything :).
FreeSWITCH (compiled against uClibc) is about 3.3MB and as Tony pointed out, mod_sofia is 1.2MB of that. The sample configs and sounds are much larger. Luckily the sounds compress well with something like squashfs.
Put it this way:
- Default AstLinux install (quite a bit of stuff these days) - FreeSWITCH (default mods + mod_xml_curl, -spidermonkey, but w/ lua, snom, vmd, and others) - Sample configs (pretty big too but also compress well) - 8k Sounds (HUGE, but compress well) - Native sounds (G723, G729, GSM, PCMU, PCMA all 8K obviously)
Results in a squashfs disk image of about 41MB. You could run off a 64MB flash drive and have plenty left over for your union filesystem (configs, etc). :)
Be aware that if you are going to run from such a config we recommend the default (which is to run AstLinux from RAM). Otherwise you take quite a hit reading audio from a squashfs filesystem.
If you want an ISO to boot on a generic machine (VMware, virtualbox, etc work too) let me know.
