<Please add some installation notes here>

• Installed successfully with FC5...
  1. Download source, extract it to a dir (do this as root, otherwise the file ownership will be messed up)
  2. pop the flash card in your machine
  3. as root, fdisk it - ex ( /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda ). Create one Linux partition, and make it bootable.
  4. /sbin/mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sda1 (create file system)
  5. tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sda1 (switch off automatic fsck)
  6. execute as root, ./usr/local/sbin/voyage.update (in the source dir, or in usr/local/sbin for 0.3pre2) (One of these is in the folder you extracted in step 1)
  7. In most cases, just hit enter for the defaults, let the script run, sit back, relax... you’re done.
  8. umount the cf card, pop it in your WRAP board. Don’t forget to hook up a null cable (9600) to see the bootup process, made me quite happy.

• Installed successfully with FC2 disk one in linux rescue mode, along with 1 USB Jumpdrive with ext2 file system and CF with ext2 file system. Initial package was downloaded to Jumpdrive (/dev/sdb1 mounted on /mnt/sdb1). Setup was run and the CF drive was chosen for install (/dev/sda1 mounted on /mnt/sda1)

• Installed fine on Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) using a USB compact flash adapter. Inserting the CF card caused Ubuntu to mount it (as /dev/sdc1) on /media/usbdisk. As root, I did mkdir /mnt/cf ; umount /media/usbdisk ; ./voyage.update. I told the script to mount the card at /mnt/cf.

There has been some reports that some users encounter error messages when installing voyage through non-debian distro such as Ubuntu and Fedora FC3. Although there is no obvious way to solve the it, the installation CD is prepared for installing voyage to the target disk device. The installation CD can be found:

• Voyage install CD

This is a remastered Ubuntu CD with voyage flavour. Just boot off the CD and follow the instructions in the

• README.live-cd file.
  

Please note that the voyage live installation CD is not a full voyage installation. That is, you cannot expect that after booting the CD you will have all voyage functionalities and drivers loaded. It is just a Ubuntu-style CD with an extracted voyage distro tarball for installation purpose.

Important Note on Soekris 4801 bios ver 1.28 and Compact Flash cards hardset to boot as Slave only despite having the bios setting to FLASH=Primary Compact Flashes nowadays for some reason come hard set to be slaves and therefore the root drive is /dev/hdb1 and not hda1 I got a kernel panic obviously while installing voyage linux. After some frustrating googling I took a second look at the install directory and after a little modification I was in business. Edit voyage-0.2/etc/lilo.conf.voyage modify all instances of root=/dev/hda1 to read as root=/dev/hdb1 save the file. Go back and run voyage.update and complete your installation.
