[Voyage-linux] Getting started

[unknown]

I am trying to install to an external USB hard drive. I followed the
instructions in the article at

http://linux.voyage.hk/content/getting-started-live-cd-v09x

and managed to get the system to boot. So far so good. A few questions,
though:

1. When booting from the Live CD, Linux recognizes both ethernet
interfaces, but after installation, it only sees one. What do I need to
do to have both recognized?

2. I need to transfer data from a CF card formatted for QNX4. Can I
update with an appropriate FS module so mount will accept -t qnx4, or do
I need to do something more drastic, like rebuild the kernel?

3. During boot-up, the console output looks fine until late in the
process, then it switches to huge block letters with only about 40
columns. Is there any way to improve that?

edit /etc/network/interfaces. Then, start the interface by "ifup ethX"

You can to install debian stock kernel as QNX module is not included in voyage.

What PC hardware you are using? You can append "nomodeset" to kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
