I've previously done the same with an NSLU2, but am interested in the potential extra speed of the Thecus.I did this recently using the new ARM EABI/arml port, I used the info at: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/install.html and the Debian installer at: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/armel/images/daily/iop32x/netboot/n2100.bin which points to the old gnuab repro but you get the chance to change that during the install. So I used the miror at: http://ftp.easynet.be/ftp/gnuab/debian
Thanks for the response. I've taken my courage in both hands and started the process but I get stuck at the disk partitioning stage. It detects the disc OK, but then partman exits part way through starting up. It gets as far as 58% in its startup progress bar and just exits.

Any idea why partman won't do its bit? TIA, John
