For those users who has a voicemaster image (crack version). This howto will show you how to install VoiceMaster-<release>.tar.bz2 on a new machine.

1. Prepare the Machine where VM to be install.

Hardware Requirements:

. Pentium 4 3GHz or better
. 1 GB of RAM or Higher
. 10/100 LAN Card
. 80 GB of IDE Hardisk

Download and get VoiceMaster Image (copy and paste this in the Internet Browser)

VoiceMaster-2.01SF.tar.bz2

2. Download and Burn gentoo Linux

. http://bouncer.gentoo.org/?product=gentoo-2006.0-minimal&os=x86

3. Boot from Gentoo Linux on the new machine.

Set up networking:

4. Type the ff: command:

gentoo# ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

gentoo# passwd
Enter new UNIX password: gentoo <enter>
Retype new UNIX password: gentoo <enter>
passwd: password updated successfully
gentoo#
gentoo# /etc/init.d/sshd start <enter>

4. Partition the Hardisk.

Make sure to delete all partition first:
livecd root # fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4865.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Mounting Filesystems

livecd root # mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
livecd root # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd root # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd root # swapon /dev/hda2
livecd root #

Now, save the file VoiceMaster-2.01SF.tar.bz2in the machine (I used WinSCP to copy it). Can be downloaded here: http://winscp.net/download/winscp380setup.exe

Save it under /mnt/gentoo/

Goto the directory:

livecd root # cd /mnt/gentoo/
livecd gentoo # ls
VoiceMaster-2.01SF.tar.bz2 boot lost+found
livecd gentoo #

and extract the file

livecd gentoo # tar xvpfj VoiceMaster-2.01SF.tar.bz2

After extracting. Type the ff: command

livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
oot@livecd:/# source /etc/profile
oot@livecd:/# lilo -v
