Starting "startx" after getting debian running gave me no browser, as if the menuselection points to an uninstalled program.
so, I'm trying to use apt-get install chromium, which says that chromium-browser replaces it, so I try that, but no:

Yes, I'm n00b at this :)
Is it possible to install debian in the NAND?
apt-get install iceweasel

I believe chromium and chromium-browser cannot run on this version of Debian. I don't remember what the issue was, but I had to go looking for an other browser myself.

apt-get install iceweasel
This is what I'm using too, it's basically a repackaging of Firefox, but Mozilla won't let them call it Firefox, so they changed fire to ice and fox to weasel.

I believe the Android image is the only thing that can run in the NAND right now.
ifconfig actually list only "lo", and when I tried apt-get update, then I get this:

(Sorry for the blurry image)
So I guess I somehow have to enable eth? (Oh yes, I'm very n00b at debian)
use ifconfig -a to show all the interfaces
ifconfig eth0 up to startup the interface ethernet 0
dhclient eth0 to get an ip from your dhcp server o access point.
Regards,
ah, I found in another thread that I had to edit /etc/resolv.conf because my gateway is anoter ip
edited /etc/network/interfaces to set "auto eth0" (not sure what that does, did not help)
after booting again it looked like this (ok, still looked like this, the interfaces file is not edited yet in that pic)

But using dhclient eth0 did the trick, thanks!
But is that persitent?, do I need to do this after each boot??
Not, it is not persistent with those commands, to get it persistent you need to modify network configurations. Init the xsession with startx and use the configuration utilities in settings.

What about the sata interface?, I have an small 24GB ssd (but in msata package), would have been cool to get something like that up.
I guess SD card have short lifespan for this usage?
You can use the SATA, but not to boot - uboot doesn't support it for booting.
There is a thread in the A20 forum about how to boot and use SATA for root, though.

That enables the ethernet interface.
