[Voyage-linux] Duplicating CF

[Edwin Whitelaw]

I do use dd also but have found that doing the chroot customization of 
the source files (the extracted directory from the tar ball) and then 
adding/removing packages, changing config files, etc. works well because 
the standard voyage.update script then loads all my preferences on each 
new CF. If your CF cards are substantially different from each other 
system by system, I'd use the dd method.
