	+	I'm a newbie to Kurobox Pro, little experienced in Linux. I followed this guide and was able to install the Armel Debian. I don't have a serial port yet and manipulated the environment variables using nvram command. I now want to have the netcat enabled so that I can play around while booting.

	+	Is there a updated uboot that I can use to flash for this box?
