Yes, I too think that d-i is the best way to support the installation 
for Debian at FR.
I am thinking how to archive this:
In a normal pc, you just need to insert a cd in a cd-rom driver. Then 
doing a boot from the cd.
In FR we don't have a cd-rom drive, so we have two possibility:
A) Copy a netinstall cd image (or something like this) on the flash 
memory, boot from flash ... and then start the installation
B) Copy a netinstall cd image (or something like this) on an external 
usb pen drive, connect to FR with an adaptor, and use a funtion on uboot 
(that still don't exist)
that allow to 1) set usb in host mode 2) boot from usb

The best option is the option A) but it has the disavantage that it 
destroy all the images previously present on flash... it can be good 
only in Debian only freerunner.
I don't have other ideas.

Other suggestions?

Ok... I declase officially dead the idea about pills :) It was only and 
idea! In every case I need such script, because I like a very
special configuration, and every time I don't want to lose 3 days to 
configure all the steps. But I will keep for me :)

Seem to be that all here really hate Openmoko Debian wiki ;)
Ok, I woud like to invest some time... to make such type of 
documentation, these "new pills", but I would like to know how to don't 
return to something like "Openmoko Debian wiki".

Have you a nice evening
