In what way is it complex? I was flashing QtMoko to NAND and it was fairly 
trivial and fast something like:

1/ boot from SD card
2/ flash_erase
3/ nandwrite kernel, rootfs
4/ reboot

If you have SD card with everything prepared it can be matter of 10 minutes. I 
can do SD card which will boot to GUI where you just press:

1/ install debian
2/ install SHR
3/ install anything else....

I know that advanced user can do this himself. But it will take hours for the  
advanced user to figure it out. For someone not experienced with bash and linux  
for someone who has not serial cable or if you don't have SD card reader it 
can be impossible to boot GTA04 at all.
