Ahh, okay. You will be fine replacing Debian then. Basically what I would do is
tar up everything inside ~/x-tools/arm-blah-blah/arm-blah-blah/sys-root and
stick it on the root of your SD card's Debian partition, replacing any current
Debian libraries. You'll also have to copy over the /usr/local/Trolltech and
tslib folders.

It's complete--that's what's so great about Qt/Embedded--it doesn't depend on
X. :)

No prob...here's my experience regarding that. The 512mbsd images give you the
correct partition table, MBR, etc, but they contain the OABI file system on the
big partition.
If you go in here:
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7390-linux/distributions/
They have tarballs of different root file systems. Someone could extract that
onto the big partition on the SD card to get the EABI root, I believe. There
may be more setup necessary than that--not totally sure. But again, that EABI
root probably doesn't use glibc 2.9, so it wouldn't be compatible with the EABI
stuff we compiled.
