[Voyage-linux] upgrade to Lenny

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

To upgrade lenny, just modify sources.list and run "apt-get update" then 
"apt-get upgrade".  All kernel and kernel modules are preserved.

Voyage 0.5, as said, sticks to etch.  The next version (0.6) would 
possibly using lenny.  Please note that lenny is not released yet, and I 
think it will take 3-6 months.  You will run with you own risk to 
upgrade from etch to lenny
