That's debianslug or however it should be called. The "little endian"
version which means that I can use standard Debian packages from the
archive rather than having to compile everything for armeb
uname -a gives me the relevant bits:
linux 2.6.15 armv5tel

I have apache and a full system installed: apt-get update and apt-get
dist-upgraded today [running sid].
Installing the linux-2.6.15-1-nslu2 from the main Debian archive works:
it tries to set symlinks and warns me about lilo.conf :)
I therefore have two kernel module trees - 2.6.15 and 2.6.15-1-nslu2 or
thereabouts. Attempting to use the modules from 2.6.15-1-nslu2 gives me
module format errors [I'm looking to get the usblp modules].
The Debian build process at nslu2-linux uses monotone, a complicated
makefile and bitbake - all of these relatively new to me. Is there a
"vanilla Debian" way yet? One slug has been flashed: I have another
brand new and boxed. My original intention was to produce two - one of
each endianness - but I think I'll stick to one for now :)
I'm also interested in installing Etch on an old RISC machine I have :)
