Hi,

Thanks for trying gNewSense on your Yeeloong. I know that some people 
(including me) had to retry a few times before it installed 
successfully. For me it repeatedly got stuck around 90 %. Maybe you just 
need to try a few times more.

Btw, gNewSense on the Yeeloong is still mostly being discussed on the 
gnewsense-dev mailing list. You might be able to get more answers there.
