You don't have to cross-build anything; you can just use the existing
ISO images for installation. For Debian Woody you can find a detailed
description (thanks to bernhard Kuhn for this!) at
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/DebianOnPowerpcInstallationHowto
In the meantime we swithched to using Ubuntu Linux on the 5200, but
here installation is a bit more complicated as you will have to
twiddle with the installation ramdisk image, and later perform
certain steps manually. It's probably easier to copy the filesystem
from a "real" PowerPC system ;-)
Best regards,
