Hi,
I tried installation of gns on the Yeeloong, using the recent
installation files located in:
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-metad/installer/daily/mipsel/loongson/netboot/

I tried the procedure with the files dated 17th, 18th and 19th Dec. from
this daily repertory.

My observations:
1/ d-i doesn't select the correct mirror ("archive.gnewsense.org") and
display instead the mirror selection menu. Consequently, one has to
enter the mirror string ("archive.gnewsense.org") and the directory
string ("/gnewsense-metad/gnewsense") manually.

2/ The installation procedure hangs then later.
Here the last lines of the /var/log/syslog file:
