OK I had a second view on this and will have a try.

Waiting until gNewSense 3.0 Parkes will have installation media might be
easier.

When will this be?

gNewSense doesn't have CD-using media for YeeLoong, so it won't be
different than without CDs.  If your YeeLoong has another distro
preinstalled, it can be used to format an USB disk with ext2 and put
there files needed to install gNewSense (using debootstrap or Parkes
installer when it'll be ready).

The YeeLoong would come with a GNU/Linux distro called Luunix. It's from China!?!?

Does anybody know what's the problem with Tekmote.nl? There I've ordered the YeeLoong and already payed throu bank transfer, from Germany to Netherlands. This was at 21st of June. Even I send them an email about 5 days ago but still no answer.
