Will the armel kernel run "oldarm" binaries? (I'm sure I read that it did somewhere) If so, then switching the nslu2 firmware to the new kernel, booting the original Debian install, then installing the armel port in a chroot before switching over to it ought to work. Or am I missing something? > There is not yet even a distributed kernel package for eabi for the > slug, yet alone an installer, but watch this space. Ah, well that would be a blocker for ths plan then :) Perhaps some kind armel soul could generate an nslu2 flash image?
