If you are familiar with traditional installations of Asterisk, do not edit the files in /etc/asterisk, the traditional location of Asterisk .conf files.

UnionFS AstLinux uses a UnionFS overlay with a read-only 'firmware' and read-write partition. The following graphic shows a representation of this. The firmware resides in a VFAT partition along with the Runnix “bootloader”. Runnix is loaded by syslinux. After Runnix is active, it looks for the correct 'firmware' to use from the 'os' directory on the VFAT partition. It also mounts the unionfs writeable area if available.

The Asterisk GUI is an open source project created by Digium, allowing the Asterisk configuration to be created, edited and managed via a web browser.
