Please don't ;-) There are still issues that neet to be resolved on the Fuloong Mini! BTW, thanks to your files, which I copied to a USB stick. I tried to follow the installation procedure, as detailed on the http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/GNewSenseToMIPS page. I managed to boot the box, using the following commands after the PMON prompt: load (usb0,0)/vmlinux-2.6.37-libre-lemote initrd (usb0,0)/newinitrd.gz g console=tty no_auto_cmd The installer starts as espected. However, I am stuck actually with the selection of the mirror used for the installation. Which mirrod did you specified?
