I would already argue about this because you put effort into something that soon or later will go away. I do not see booting d-i as a real problem. Instead, going on with the installation *is* the culprit. > c) Boot, and hoping that u-boot will be able to boot from partition #2 You cannot assume that U-Boot can boot anything :-( > d) After boot, log via SSH in FR (with a default address?) and make > the installation via text. I was probably unclear and I will reply in more details to Per's post: I am not talking about SSH installations, but *real* ones, where you do not need anything more than the FR and a WiFi connection. > e) After installation the partition used to boot the businesscard > iso can be trasformed in swap space What if the user does not want any swap space? > The debian-500-armel-businesscard.iso must to be modified to don't try > to install grub, but instead the uboot, and to use openmoko kernel. This is a general problem, even without checking I guess that Debian on NAS does not take into account of the desktop boot loaders (i.e. GRUB and LiLo). > This is only my idea.

Thank you for sharing it: I think that the more we talk about something, the better the solution we will implement be :-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
