Based on my experience, I think that you'd make better use of your
time by installing armel lenny and then upgrading to squeeze. If
anything, it will certainly encourage you to make notes about how you
customized your system (if you haven't already).

So, you suggest to install armel Lenny and then upgrade to squeeze on armel.
Seems Martin also has a squeeze image ready for NSLU2, why not just install
that? I guess either way I will need to reinstall everything anyway.
Maybe I'm missing something.

Well, , the upgrade takes about 48 hours on a slow ARM box and
(worse!) involves you having to poke the console every now and then
for a good number of those hours, responding to configuration
questions and "should I really restart these daemons" boxes.
If you choose to do a fresh installation anyway you may as well go
straight for squeeze.

Martin,
but I thought that I dont have a choice due to the arm -> armel change?
My understanding was that I cannot upgrade the Lenny version I have to squeeze.

Cheers Brian
