[Voyage-linux] problem building voyage from scratch

[n schembr]

What was wrong with the debootstrap method? I just ran debootstrap  on the Ubuntu archive.  It's 198M but looks like it will clean up nicely.  I personly like the idea of debbootstrap + custom config files.   This type of build will help others make Flash based desktop systems and more.

Why the move to Voyage-custom?  Is the base system going to remain Debian? What about Ubuntu as a base? (Flame Shield ON:) )

Hi Thorsten ,

voyage-current no longer be built by debootstrap.  debootstrap.voyage.sh 
will still stay in CVS repository, but no longer updated.

But you could still build by debootstrap.voyage.sh.  I didn' t run 
debootstrap.voyage.sh anymore so I don't know the current status.  I 
recalled that the similar error will occur if you run 
debootstrap.voyage.sh under etch.

FYI, voyage-current is built by customization framework.
