[Voyage-linux] readonly/readwrite filesystem

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Pascal,

Down the voyage-current.iso and give it a try:
    http://www.voyage.hk/download/ISO/voyage-current.iso

This is a demostration of live CD concept which will probably be 
deployed in 0.3.  The live CD is squashfs + unionfs.  The final 0.3 
distro would be similar. 

I do not finalize the way it goes.  The current kernel in my development 
already support squashfs and unionfs, and I need more feedback and input 
on this.
