the issue is there are files in multi places. and having to hand copy
them is a pain. the fact the sdk is broke and not installing the grub
correctly needs to be looked and and to figure out why.. I am working to
get pkgs done to fix my issue . but the personthat maintains the deb pkg
src has not responded to emails about the issues of packages not
compiling correctly .. if and when this issue is fixed I can move away
from the sdk and to the voyage-0.8.0 and not have issues
