We reported on the gnewsense-users list ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnewsense-users/2011-01/index.html ) our recent workaround for the installation of gnewsense on Lemote's Fuloong Mini. Using a new initrd and a customized partition sheme, you may install it at your convenience. Maybe you find useful information...
