I've used a VirtualBox machine booted with the live cd and installed
voyage into a small (<2GB) HDD.

Then install and unpack "linux-source-2.6.26-voyage" and
"kernel-package", copy the current kernel config (from boot), run
"make oldconfig" and "make menuconfig"  to configure the kernel to
your needs and finally run "make-kpkg".

Let me also use this opportunity to ask Punky to upload the
"linux-headers-2.6.26-voyage"-package to make life easier to use the
module-assistant. Thx.
