I'm not convinced that you want to compile the installer. What about
the binary installer image do you want to change ? The installer just
gives you an image which you temporarily write to the NSLU2 flash.
During installation, this installer image gets overwritten by the
Debian kernel and initramfs. The rest of the Debian installation gets
written to your hard drive, i.e. Debian/NSLU2 requires a hard drive.
Debian does not fit into the NSLU2 flash like SlugOS/BE.


BTW, are you following the installation instructions at
