[Voyage-linux] More build errors...

[Robert Haskins]

Thanks Punky! That was the kick I needed. So for those of you who are 
newbies like me, translated this means:

1) install the Debian package "kernel-package" (apt-get kernel-package)
2) <Follow the Debian kernel package instructions, i.e. the "make-kpkg" 
commands. The naming of the kernel is very specific with dots, dashes 
and underscores.>
3) to install, use "dpkg --root=<path to voyager-0.1 install> -i 
/usr/src/<name of debian kernel package>

The order of options is important on 3). If you reverse it, the kernel 
will be installed to "/".
