Hello everyone, The next release candidate is available: - http://www.askozia.com/news/2010/3/12/20-release-candidate-2.html There were a ton of bugs fixed in this and lots of new hardware is supported. All in all a big step forward towards 2.0! Thanks to everyone who helped with this and sent in feedback. It has been a busy month of development! Enjoy your weekend, - Michael
Hi, I've been playing a little with Askozia, and hope that it's useful to share some of the things I stumbled upon. I started with the latest 2.0rc2, but found that after booting the system did not respond to my USB keyboard. (I'm testing on a Dell Optiplex GX280.) Fortunately, the system used DHCP and I was able to use the webinterface and ssh in, so no showstopper there. The Askozia 1.0.3 release did work properly with my USB-keyboard, BTW. During the boot I also noticed that my USB disk was not recognized. Not sure why, the system booted from /dev/hda (CD), the primary harddrive was /dev/sda and the USB-drive should be /dev/sdb1 - I was actually able to mount it myself via ssh. The USB-drive was recognized properly by Askozia 1.0.3... I really hoped that my ISDN adapter would work out of the box, but it didn't. I'm not sure if I should blame Askozia here, perhaps Linux in general. I did try Trixbox 2.8.0.4 and that didn't work either, not by default and playing with mISDN at least. It did seem to be recognized somehow, judging by dmesg. (And lspci recognized it.) The ISDN interface is one based on the Winbond 6692, the Dynalink IS64PH. Just a simple (and probably cheap) one. And, hehe, the ISDN card *does* work on Askozia 1.0.3, so yay FreeBSD(Continue reading)That was quite simple actually.
Hello All, I have been trying to boot the this release on a VIA C3 800mhz 512mb ram appliance that I have used for m0n0wall/pfsense and other firewall builds. I get past grub loading to "Booting the Kernel" and a flashing cursor... then nothing. Guessing it is processor compatability (I think linux sees the C3 as an i586 processor, but am not positive). Any thoughts? I really want this to work, and the via chip would seem to be perfect for this application as these boxes only use about 10 watts of power under load. Please help!

Are you using the Embedded Firmware release if the system only has a serial console? Are you sure the serial terminal settings match? Could you post a link to that hardware? > Guessing it is processor compatability (I think linux sees the C3 as an i586 > processor, but am not positive). > > Any thoughts?

The images are built for 486 so everything should work fine unless those chips are somehow not backward compatible. -Michael

The machine acquires an IP address from your network and, if you know it, you can access the gui at http://yourip. No initial configuration is needed.

If the machine has a keyboard and monitor, you should use the generic pc image. The embedded image only supports serial console. The generic pc image uses keyboard and monitor.

Hello Phil, please 'reply-all' so your responses go back out to the list and not only to me ;) > So it boots up to a dhcp'd webgui, the trick is finding it on a large network... might be > worth setting up a another tiny network just for the setup process... Finding that initial IP is an interesting problem. I've tried my best to make it easy but there are certainly better methods out there. The IP is displayed on your screen though after booting, right? One thing I've implemented is the '0000IP' extension which can tell you the system's IP. This only accomplishes something if you have an analog phone hooked up to the system since it requires zero setup. > I am booting from CF card, and I assumed the embedded version minimizes write cycles > VS the generic PC image.

The only difference between the Generic and Embedded versions are in the way they handle consoles. They're both equally as write-cycle and resource friendly. > Thanks again for the help! Not a problem. Glad you like the software.(Continue reading)
Ok, So I went with the "generic" install onto CF and the unit booted up into an onscreen menu, I assigned IP and all was good!(Continue reading)
I just came across askozia and I am glad I found it. I do have a few newbie questions, so this will be email 1 of a few. 1) Can askozia be installed as a guest virtual server under vmware, xenserver, hyper-v, etc?

My next question is: 2) Can askozia be configured in a multi-tenant situation? Meaning each tenant will have its own domain name, IP, configuration files, etc. Thanks, -- William Traenkle, CEO Tranquilnet IT Solutions "#1 IT Solutions Provider for Small Business" 3525 Del Mar Heights Rd #446 San Diego, CA 92130 (858) 259-9388 x704 Office (858) 259-9344 Fax (619) 454-8924 Cell will@...<mailto:will@...> www.tranquilnet.com<http://www.tranquilnet.com/> www.tranquildomains.com<http://www.tranquilnetworks.com/> The information contained in this message is intended only for the recipient, may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
