[Voyage-linux] Voyage Linux 0.9.5 released

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Chris and all,

Let me answer all these questions in one:

1. Regarding to the upgrade, please read the following thread and my sub-sequence response.
https://www.mail-archive.com/voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk/msg07059.html

2. 0.9 repo has just been updated.

3. Voyage MPD just adds more packages and stuff to Voyage Linux, to make it a CAS-capable player.  You can find the 
installed package list in /cat /voyage.dpkg-l in both Voyage Linux and MPD.

4. Today, the major differences between Voyage Linux and Debian are the customized trim-down kernel, mounting read-only 
at boot, which is accomplished by voyage-utils package, and some added custom packages in 
http://mirror.voyage.hk/dists/<version>

5. Voyage MuBox is a slightly different beast than Voyage Linux and MPD, especially on how it is created and installed, 
the bootloader and the kernel.
