Hi all,

I have been silent for a week (no kernel and package development) as I 
am experimenting a brand new voyage live CD which is now available in 
the following location:
    http://www.voyage.hk/download/ISO/voyage-current.iso

It should be populated to all mirrors within 24 hours.

- Debian etch based
- casper style live CD (used in Debian Live / Ubuntu)
- ubuntu-based voyage 2.6.15_3.0-1 kernel
- initramfs : squashfs + unionfs
- features udev and pcmciautil
- 31MB in size
- (and it is built using customization framework!)

Note that this live CD still very experimental and it is not a 
conventional voyage.  It is just a proof-of-concept and demonstration of 
my current development.  I can run it successfully under VMWare.  I 
think running under qemu should also work.  And conventional voyage is 
still in the works as I am now polishing up installation and 
configuration parts (with some collaboration with Bill).

Let me know your feedback after using and testing it.  At the moment, I 
am not comfortable with the autologin provided by casper.  In addition, 
we need to find ways to support persistent storage on top of unionfs (it 
is now mounting tmpfs on /cow).
