Back in 2010, b-rad released Debian Squeeze (MIPSEL) for a WDLXTV hacked WDTV:

I've placed a copy on SourceForge with the script to chroot the image on a hacked WDTV Live (WDLXTV).

Since then, Squeeze is no longer supported, so Debian moved the source repo's.

The original "/etc/apt/sources.list" file needs to be changed:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

You can then install Squeeze packages: eg:

apt-get update
apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
apt-get install build-essential

Which gives you a basic GCC environment.

I applied the above on the original squeeze image, which may make it easier to get a working system, or, just make your own:

The original Debian image is also here:
