The Cobalts are little AFAIK so your port is "debian-mipsel" ...
I am working on that but still having problems building glibc and gcc.
I Managed to get a perl package this weekend and ill setup and apt-able
locale storage. Curently all packages have broken dependencies and other
local hacks because i hadnt got an "tetex-bin" installed when
trying to compile "sysvinit".
In bootstrapping the distribution it seems you have to ignore
