[Voyage-linux] More build errors...

[Robert Haskins]

Sorry to be such a newbie. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those 
pages show you how to install a new kernel to /boot and /. I've built 
the voyage kernel successfully, I just need to get it to the CF card. 
That's the part I can't figure out (how I get the custom kernel I just 
built onto the flash - I don't want to install it onto the system I just 
built it on!).

I think I want to install the new kernel into some temporary directory 
like /home/rhaskins/voyage-0.1 so I can then build my CF image, correct?
