Remove All Partitions
Select this option if you want to remove all partitions on your system, including
those created by other operating systems (such as Windows).
Keep All Partitions
You should choose this option if you want to retain all of your current data
and partitions. You will need enough hard drive space for your Asterisk im-
plementation. Twenty GB is a realistic minimum, but the minimum space is
dependent on the needs of the system you want to create.
In most cases, you will want to choose Remove All Partitions. A hard drive dedi-
cated to your Asterisk implementation is the best way to ensure maximum per-
formance. Select the Review checkbox on the Automatic Partitioning screen if you
want to review or modify your partition selections.
6. A list of the hard drives available for use is listed on the Automatic Partitioning
screen. Select the checkbox next to the hard drive(s) you want to use for your
system. Click Next to continue with the installation.
• If you selected Remove All Partitions or Remove All Linux Partitions, a warning
dialog will be displayed that asks if you want to proceed. Click Yes to proceed,
or No to change your partition selection.
• If you selected Review on the Automatic Partitioning screen, a screen will be
displayed with the partitions created. You can modify your partitions on this
screen. To proceed, click Next.
7. The Network Configuration screen is displayed.
• You can configure the network devices associated with your system on the Net-
work Configuration screen. Any network devices attached to your system are
automatically detected by the installation program and displayed in the Net-
work Devices list. You can either accept the device(s) automatically selected by
the installation program, or you can edit them by selecting Edit.
• Set the Hostname by either selecting Automatically via DHCP, or by selecting
Manually and enter the hostname for your system. Once you have specified the
hostname, click Next to proceed.
8. The Time Zone Selection screen is displayed.
• The Time Zone Selection screen offers several ways for you to select the time
zone appropriate for your installation. You can either use the world map, which
displays major cities, select from a list of locations and time zones, or select the
System Clock Uses UTC to use the system time. Once you have selected a time
zone, click Next.
9. The Administrator Password screen is displayed.
• You must set a password for the AsteriskNOW administrator account, “admin”.
This password will be used to log on to the system, as well as the Asterisk GUI.
Set and confirm an administrator password, and then click Next to proceed.
