### This was tested on voyage-0.2pre1
### You can loggin over network and do the whole stuff below.
### Upgrading ssl, ssh does not cut your connection (at least not mine :-) )
### Of course everytime something can go wrong so it's wise to have a backup of your system !!!
### And be warned: There are only basic modules for wrap without usb etc. etc.
###
### If you use new madwifi driver i.e. 1314 below you must change
### whatever to add wifi0 like
### wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
### Install voyage-0.2pre1 as normal
### Boot voyage, set password
### Configure network etc.
### Upload desired packages to voyage system
###
### The follwing must be done on the running voyage system
mkdir /usr/local/archive
### Upload packages to /usr/local/archive in voyage
### Install kernel
cd /
tar zxvf /usr/local/archive/kernel-2.6.12-2-wrap.tgz

### Create modules dependencies
depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-2.6.12-2-wrap 2.6.12-2-wrap
