[Soekris] voyage linux installation

[Punky]

Hi John,

Apart from whay Bill suggested, there are some other installation
methods using the Live CD:

1. Boot the live cd (if soekris support booting from CD-ROM and you
have CD-ROM attached to it) on soekris and install from it.
2. Boot the live cd from another physical desktop/laptop or
VMWare/QEMU/VirutalBox in your network and enable the live cd as PXE
server for netboot install on soekris.

For more information, please read: http://linux.voyage.hk/?q=live-cd

Regards,
Punky
