Hi all,
I've dug my Yeeloong 2F out of storage and have been trying to get an OS
onto it. I've tried Debian, but it fails to install GRUB - then cannot find
boot.cfg when it tries to boot. I wasn't able to manually boot it with karg.
The only OS's I've managed to get onto it successfully are the Lemote Debian
restore and Free BSD. The former is in Chinese and the latter doesn't have
functioning wireless. :(
I've had Debian working fine on it in the past - I'm not sure what to do.
I'll settle for any OS, command line or GUI as long as it's in English and
the Wifi works. Would appreciate some advice as to what's currently the best
OS to put on this system. The Lemote Debian would be fine if I could get it
into English.
Gentoo worked well for me. But installing it was a pain from memory, I
seem to remember just untarring it into a spare partition in the
existing system and then setting the bootloader to boot into it.
Justin

check the README file, all should good to go.
Also read https://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/mips/yeeloong.xml It
should not be too hard to install. I did my best to make it as painless
as possible.
