Explanation
Method 1
The debian chroot tgz file contains the only debian rootfs that I have found for this device's cpu (For more info about it see More info about this device).
While the two scripts were made by me to automatize the whole chroot creating process (Basically, untaring and moving right sources.list file.) and the chrooting itself (exporting right PATH, mounting and chrooting).
Method 2
Same explanation as above, the only difference is that all the files are stored in a ext2 fromatted loop file.
