I was able to install Debian on the nslu2, with only minor deviation from the documented procedure. Starting point was a brand new nslu2 from Linksys, which had been configured to a static IP via the windows configuraton tool. This was with a 1GB flash thumbdrive.
First, the installer disconnected my ssh session during partitioning. I was able to reconnect and resume the installer, but it immediately jumped to partitioning and stalled at 50% progress. After a couple tries, I ssh'd in and rebooted. The nslu2 came up fine, although it used dhcp and I had to use nmap to find it. I reconnected via ssh, and continued installation without problem. My only confusion was at the tasksel question, and I wasn't sure whether to keep the "standard system" option checked or not. I unchecked it and got a very minimal debian installation - perfect. Recommend adding a bit of advice in the nslu2 Debian installer guide on this topic. Anyway, it's a great little machine. Hearty appreciation to all involved.
