[Voyage-linux] building the voyage kernel

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi David,

The most easy to do is to install the SDK CD to VM (VMWare, Virtual Box 
or qemu).  It included required package to build kernel as well.  Once 
the deb is build, you can transfer the kernel deb to alix box and 
install it.

See: http://linux2.voyage.hk/develop
