Remember that linux has a built in manual called 'man' that will explain a lot of basic commands. For instance, doing a 'man chmod' will explain what chmod does and the options you can use on it. Other then that, there are probably some good beginners books out there. Maybe try the "Linux for Dummies" book. I've only ever used command references and the linux manual to learn. Everything else was just trial and error.

It is as I expected, if I want to learn linux I just have to stick with it and pray for the occasional help from folks such as you and topher. So last night when I attemted the install of libtermcap I got back a segmentation fault, but today it worked fine... Not sure if this is related but my computer has been acting strange and in my system log I find something along the lines of, 4gb seg fixup something related to beagle I think, and there's a lot of them.

You probably did a yum update all at some point and your system now has 2 versions of the C library on it. Generally it is a bad idea to update things in linux without understanding why and what you are updating. This is also caused by having installed the Xen VM with your distro. You can try running the following command to specify your system to only use one C library: echo 'hwcap 0 nosegneg' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf This might help you out, but it could also potentially break other xen machines you have running, assuming you are even using it. If xen sounds like something guys in robes with bald heads do then dont worry about it, you will be fine

Quote First get a copy of putty, this will allow a telnet (ssh) session to your asterisk box Run the following wget https://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/ sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.320-1.noarch.rpm rpm -U webmin-1.320-1.noarch.rpm Then run the following once you've logged on (root) cd /usr/src wget --passive-ftp ftp.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-addons-1.4-current.tar.gz wget --passive-ftp ftp.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-1.4-current.tar.gz wget --passive-ftp ftp.digium.com/pub/zaptel/zaptel-1.4-current.tar.gz tar zxvf zaptel-1.4-current.tar.gz tar zxvf asterisk-1.4-current.tar.gz tar zxvf asterisk-addons-1.4-current.tar.gz Type ls (dir) cd to each dir type ./configure then type make; make install; make config When you get to the asterisk, do the following type make; make install; make config; make samples Now access webmin Open a browser to [your * box IP):10000 Login, go to others, file manager. Add the following to /etc/udev.rules.d/50-udev.rules KERNEL="zapctl", NAME="zap/ctl" KERNEL="zaptimer", NAME="zap/timer" KERNEL="zapchannel", NAME="zap/channel" KERNEL="zappseudo", NAME="zap/pseudo" KERNEL="zap[0-9]*", NAME="zap/%n" Save, then reboot Log back on to asterisk using putty, and type asterisk -r Asterisk should be running Read the docs/samples, and ask more questions This in tandem with the help from Kumba: Quote yum install libtermcap-devel yum install kernel-devel got asterisk up and running. Im not clear as to the function of webmin or putty yet but Ill get there. I mean I have a general idea but nothing specific. Now that I have it, its time to start the reading again.

Do you have some sort of Asterisk module set-up in webmin? This could cause something like this. I am not that familiar with v.1.4 or it's quirks so I cant reliably say. You can try going onto irc on server irc.freenode.com and join channel #asterisk and ask there, they are pretty good about helping. Sometimes
