[Voyage-linux] Install experimental package from git repository

[Soteris Markou]

Hi , 

I would suggest to perform the download and compilation which is the more processor hungry application part on your desktop using chroot ( http://wiki.voyage.hk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=temp_customization ) 
and for the installation part you create a new CF card go to your make directory and perform the make install on your Alix board.

Regards
Soteris
