Release files now exist so installer gets past that part. (But then fails with Downloading a file failed" <https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?32865> but this bug should be considered closed.)

There is not a 'Release' file at
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-metad/gnewsense/dists/stable/main/binary-mipsel/
The Debian equivalent is
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/binary-mipsel/
which has a 'Release' file.

I would very much like to have gNewSense installed on the Lemote so
what can I do?

The latest files in
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-metad/installer/current/mipsel/loongson/netboot/
are from November 2010. Do they need updating?
