Waiting until gNewSense 3.0 Parkes will have installation media might be
easier.

gNewSense doesn't have CD-using media for YeeLoong, so it won't be
different than without CDs.  If your YeeLoong has another distro
preinstalled, it can be used to format an USB disk with ext2 and put
there files needed to install gNewSense (using debootstrap or Parkes
installer when it'll be ready).
