Installer working fine on the Kurobox Pro

Per Andersson ported the Debian installer to the Kurobox Pro this summer as part of a Google Summer of Code project. Along with Riku Voipio, I acted as Per's mentor and gave him advice while he was trying to figure out all the details that were needed to get Debian running on the device. Since I spent the summer in Israel and didn't have my Kurobox Pro with me, I never performed an installation on my own though.

Yesterday I finally found time to play with my Kurobox Pro. Per did a great job and the installation worked without any problems. I also investigated how the recovery mode works and added various new information to my Debian on the Kurobox Pro pages. The Kurobox Pro seems like a nice machine, but I hope we'll add full support for the Linkstation Pro and Live soon since these devices are much more easily available. It shouldn't take too much work since these devices are quite similar to the Kurobox Pro.
