Here is what I did:
0) convert to booting from SD card
1) Upgrade installation to the 2.6.29 lenny image
2) Upgrade lenny to squeeze following these instructions:
http://www.howtoforge.com/upgrade-debian-lenny-to-squeeze-in-a-few-simple-steps
Ignore the instructions regarding grub because they are not applicable
3) apt-get install mono-complete
I did run into some difficulty with udev during step 2, but I worked around
that by disabling udev (with rcconf), mounting the root volume in another
instance of Linux, and prepopulating /dev with necessary device nodes (with
mknod). I forget the exact difficulty. /dev was already prepopulated with a
lot of the device nodes I needed. I don't remember which one(s) I added. The
udev difficulty did not keep me from booting. There were just some complaints
during boot.
When you do the dist-upgrade to squeeze you will probably see a question about
converting the shell to dash. I chose YES, and found that it reduced memory
consumption quite a bit. I still run my logons under bash, but any system shell
operations run under dash.
note: compiling large c# programs on the SBC is a lesson in pain. Compile them
on a regular computer and then copy them to the SBC. Since they are .Net
executables, you do not need to concern yourself with cross-compilation. The
SBC can handle ahead of time compilation from .Net executables to target
specific code (" mono -aot"), but trying to do large source files really churns.
