[Voyage-linux] Kernel 2.6.29.1 for alix boards

[Jordi Soucheiron]

Hi Rusell,
I'm sorry, we use a inner dns system and sometimes I don't even think
about it. The installation is quite simple, you have to install voyage
the usual way, download the file to the device and finally install the
.deb using #dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.29.1_0.0-1Custom_i386.deb. Once
done that you'll provably need to update grub configuration to make it
boot from the new kernel. If you want you can download the kernel
source and compile it yourself, whatever is better for you.
I hope this helps, good luck
