[Voyage-linux] Voyage, Asterisk, Soekris Net4801

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi Stagg,

Great!  Since you are using 0.2pre4, the current voyage-mesh profile 
directory in customization script has defined the necessary asterisk 
packages from http://rapid.dotsrc.org. 

See voyage-0.2pre4/usr/share/voyage-custom/src/mesh/conf/apt.conf

I intended to include asterisk in voyage-mesh, but I disabled them 
becuase the final voyage-mesh image is large.  You can follow the 
customization guides in wiki and README to see how to build a custom 
distro. 

Please let me know what other kernel drivers (sound / ALSA?) need to 
enable so that I will enable them in next kernel release.  Moreover 
zaptel module should be in voyage unstable repository, see 
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/zaptel/.  At last, remember to 
contribute back ;-)  Thanks.

- Punky
