It sounds like it. Wow. So can I boot into that Debian system and compile a new kernel from inside that? And do I need to know what options to choose at compile and modules to load for Cubox hardware or is that automatic? Pardon my dumb questions. I was reading this, about installing Debian and compiling a new kernel: http://www.solid-run.com/archive/mw/index.php/Debian_netboot_installer I might be in over my head. Those instructions assume that I know how to do a lot of things that I do not.
