[Voyage-linux] More build errors...

OK, I am really showing my newbie-ness here. The kernel built fine, but 
how do I install it? When I run the "make install", make installs the 
new kernel to a location relative to "/" which is obviously not where my 
voyage installation is located.

Please advise. Thanks!
