I am sorry for my bad spelling but I am very glad a lot of grammar teachers read slashdot and they also have time to help improving my English. They can really dedicate this spare time to teach some third country children to correct spell English. But hey, not all third countries have big oil reserves.
Btw, if you are offended of text written with only caps please don't be such a tight azz and go relax a little bit walking away from your computer.
My intent was to make other people aware that there is a problem. I used only caps intentionally that my message strike through the big pile of stupid and useless comments even if it is quite annoying (I have to admit this). But, of course, the small 1% "natural born expert computer users" are too short minded that the majority of people are not so well experienced.
Anyway, thank you for you grammar corrections. They'll really help other not so experienced people avoid the stupid situation of losing their Linux systems.
Deep inside I feel pleased cause my "caps only bad spelled message" annoyed a small number of "experts" but helped a bigger number of inexperienced fellows. If only one person have read again the "Installer instructions" after he saw my warning, I still did something today. I cannot say the same about you, my beloved English teacher.
And about knives, even if they aren't all labeled "Caution, may be sharp" don't tell me you never get cut. "Errare humanum est".
Have a nice life,

Yes, "Installing Asterisk@Home" how-to specify that: "NOTE: This will erase all data on the hard drive of the PC!!!" in a usual font like it is not such an important matter.
On the other hand, "**NOTE: CHANGER YOUR ROOT PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY by typing passwd **Asterisk@Home boxes with default passwords have been hacked!!" is clear written in red text and uppercases.
I'm not saying that htis is not a great product but just be carefull now and in the future with these very "handy" tools that automaticalli erase all data on your drive with not evena freekin prompt.
Sorry for the rant but an application that remove all data from a data suuport (HDD/partitiion etc.) with no prior question/answer except a small note on the website deserve the title of MOST STUPID APPLICATION EVER.
This is mindblowing. I simply cannot image could happen if I booted this on a RAID system:((
take care

DO NOT BOOT THE Asterisk@Home ISO !!!!!!
IT WILLE AUTOMATICALLY FROMAT YOUR / PARTITION WITHOUT AKSING YOU A THING.
OMG this is freekin' Unbelievable!!!
I've downloaded the Asterisk@Home and like every other n00b around I just booted up from it (no I've not read any warning s or FULL documentation). I bet 98% of people around to the same thing. After the kernel boot and X detection phase it started formatting my / partition. NOT even a ONE question asked. Of course it screwed my system.
The good part is that I booted from this ISO in a virtual machine (not my real box) and I just lost a default Debian installation (installed on a virtual machine).
Is this the latest way to distribute bad things on the net? Post an article regarding an open source project that do a lot of good things after it FORMAT your / partition?
Please if you wanna try Asterisk@Home ISO do it in a blank new virtual machine not your development/home primary box.
