Q: What is this all about? Why should I read this?

A: This is a detailed guide to how to get a full Debian installed on your Zaurus. I assume that you: 1. You have a Zaurus; 2. You fancy playing Debian for real on your Zaurus.

Q: How is this guide organized?

A: This guide will walk you through the methods of installing a real Debian on your Zaurus. It is a bit long, but actually you are not supposed to read it all. You will be prompted a few questions (Q8-Q12) and you will then know where to continue.
