I used the "current"-build which probably is the daily? Was that a
mistake? It worked well with 0.6.5 but I see your point... I will try
the official version

Well, I am not sure, when would that happen? The sequence I used is the
following

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 26 mounts or

Setting maximal mount count to -1
bjorn at bp:~$*sudo tar --numeric-owner -jxvf voyage-current.tar.bz2*
bjorn at bp:~$*cd voyage-current*
bjorn at bp:~$*sudo ./usr/local/sbin/voyage.update*
voyage.update scripts will ask you a couple of questions to complete the
installation:
1 - Create new Voyage Linux disk
2 - Update existing Voyage configuration
3 - Exit
Press 1 to install voyage to disk device. You will be prompted tohrough
installation menu. Go through the menu item 1 - 6 in sequence.
1 - Specify Distribution Directory
2 - Select Target Profile
3 - Select Target Disk
4 - Select Target Bootstrap Loader
5 - Configure Target Console
6 - Copy Distribution to Target
7 - Exit
It will take a short while (~1 min) to copy all files from software
package to disk device. The above configuration will be saved to
.voyage.config. If you run voyage.update next time, it will use same
configuration as default.
