I try the manual way and gdm starts great, but the keyboard and the touchscreen dont works good, also, I connect to the usb cable and I cant make ssh to the NeoFreerunner. When I install Debian, I must install the drivers for touchscreen, usb, accelerometers, sound card, etc? How to install in Debian the drivers? I forget, I installed the kernel of gta02 of the om2009 distribution, and boot with the deboostrap Debian.

Re: [debian] installation
I haven't successfully got Debian to work on my FR, but i do have QTE4.4.2
working on a single ext2 partition, no fat partitions by editing my uboot
environment and adding this option:
setenv menu_9 Boot from microSD (ext2): setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base}
rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=5 \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\;
ext2load mmc 1 0x3200 \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x3200
It could be modified slightly to work with 2 ext2 partitions, one for kernel,
rest for everything else.
see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD#Add_uboot_boot_entry for how
to add the boot menu entry.
Alternatively you can use the debian configure-uboot.sh script, and modify it
for ext2 instead of fat for the kernel partition if necessary.
see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner to find the configure-uboot.sh

So you say that I should use the SD_PART1_FS=vfat
./install.sh all
option?
no. what i am saying is, check in the wiki page you
used the section
Adjusting your uBoot environment
I did that and the way I understand it, I should be able to
boot by
selecting the SD card without having a FAT partition on it!
Namely:
Having a OM2008.9 jffs on FR, I did run 'install.sh
all'. I did shutdown the
device and when rebooted I choose the SD card to boot. That
should do the
trick!
I think the wiki isn't very clear in that point. That
was also the reason
asking that question in the list!
How other people did perform the debian installation? I
shouldn't be the
only one following that wiki!
Thanks
