Yes, I am aware of those projects, however, they seem to be more focused on just
the YeeLoong than the other Loongson products (Lemote FuLoong and LynLoong
in particular, but also the Gdium). I would like to have a "universal"
Loongson-port.

I have the exact same netbook, but I also have the Lemote FuLoong mini-PC
in which I currently are running Debian - but not from a installer. I
had to download
and extract a complete system to a partition and boot a custom kernel. The
system was using an older kernel and were configured in chinese so it took
some time to get "everything right".

I would also like to help with whatever I can help with, however, I haven't
done any development-related stuff with Debian before (only i18n/l10n) so I
don't really know how and where to start. Would love some guidance here.
