Thanks for help.
One thing to note is that Lenny version  moved in the Debian archives so the path for most of the packages changed
like
  archives.debian.org
I use a TS 7500 so so far  I got the SD card working , the network , I can download the packages  but still have problems with
apt-get upgrade that throws some errors.

For the upgrades which variants of Lenny should be used the backports ones or the release ones?

Thanks
Harry

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.
