245am and trixbox is about to go out the door!! arg.

Now, I have heard that trix is really nice, however, seems to not want to
install on most hardware I have.
I finally got it going on an 866 with 512MB ram tonite, installed fine for
once.

netconfig to assign it a static IP, netmask, GW and DNS to look at. It
wont take,  so i add it in ifconfig and route add inet style ok no big
whoop.

I change/make passwd's for all the stuff thats running,
I start configing everything for my needs, basicly just sip stuff Vmail
etc,  go to add trunk and FreePBX doesnt appear to be there. Well the page
is there, but no data, nothing, just links to the stuff at the top, I
click on the links and page loads with nothing on it, just template.

ok, maybe after all these passwd's were changed , perhaps a slight chance
I need to reboot, I doubt it but heck I give it a try, reboot.. IP config
DNS gone, i do it again, and http times out, nothing, unusable. I can ping
interface, on net, no dns resolving even though I gave it proper dns
server.
httpd running, asterisk running when looking at ps. top shows everything
ok, nothing pegged out at 99%.

Perhaps asterisk on something else would be better, so theres not alot of
things to break?

Isnt trixbox supposed to work? Anyone know if this thing is buggie as its
seeming to me? It appears to be out of beta which in theory means it
works.
I'm heading over to trix site to complain and whine.
Shakes fist at box and glares!!

Oh this is after 5 attempted installs on various hardware, PII intel
boards, dual PIII boards(tyan), Compaq DL360(didnt like the scsi's and
controller even though it loaded cpq stuff)... oh how I could count the
ways.
