Bonsoir Samy,

Thanks for your answer.

You mean that changing sources.list and then "apt-get update; apt-get
dist-upgrade" is likely to work (ie not breaking completely the
machine)?

Yes I had this one in my bookmarks but it doesn't mention
(yet) the slowness of the www.lemote.com repository from
Europe. When I have enough information I'll update the wiki :).

In particular has anyone tried the debian-mipsel
netinst on this particular harware?

Thanks in advance,
