I got the Debian5 to work fine by partitioning my mmc1 has an ext2 and moving the *.tar.gz to the mmc1 folder and extracting with tar -xvf *.tar.gz I did not have to change any fonts for it to work, but I did have to upgrade lxde for it to run -- and run it did smoothly.

However, like Debian4,Debian5 must also pin package udev or else it crashes either Debian (might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto). The package udev upgrades to an incompatible kernel, effectively locking any changes to dkpg/apt. Source files can still be compiled for the most part though.

Qole, I see hal and dbus pinned; you might want to also pin udev with a command like this in the /etc/apt/preferences file:

Package: udev
Pin version 0.125-7
Pin-Priority: 1001

I haven't tried yet, but it might need an even earler version of udev.
