[Voyage-linux] livecd on soekris 4826

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Jason,

You can trim things down manually or use the customization framework to 
trim things down, there is no different.  customization framework needs 
more work, but in result you get a repeatable and automated process.

There is one thing I will want to explore before 0.3 release, is to make 
the filesystem structure in CF like the one in live CD.  So you just 
need 31MB CF size for the rootfs, but you can't modify the rootfs in CF 
as it is in squashfs.  You will need extra copy-on-write (cow) partition 
for it.

Regards,
Punky
