[Voyage-linux] re: Alix 3C3 and LEDs

[Bart Jooris]

Hi Sancho,

I create a voyage-master in a vm which is my "development environment 
for voyage".
-create a new VM (with IDE-disk and NAT...)
-let it boot the voyage-live-cd iso and install voyage in the vm
-then create the "development environment" by installing gcc, g++, ...
-get the sources and build them (also works for kernel adj., get sources 
by apt-get install kernel-source-...)
-copy bins to target box

Maybe it is easier by just sending you the bins, as after running one of 
them the leds-alix module will work.
In the zip there are 2 versions:
-build of the previous source
-build of a 'more' silent one :-) (sources inside the zip)

Hope it works for you,

Cheers,

Bart
