DietPi for Kirkwood (armv5tel) devices

Hi gents, bodhi,

due to your excellent descriptions I (as a Linux noob) was able to set up Debian on my NSA310.
It works excellent! :-)
With my little experience on Raspberrys I was able to install DietPi on that devices. That worked great!
As the colleagues of the DietPi project mentioned that only a clean Debian is required to install DietPi, I gave it a try by executing this script by following their instructions: PREP_SYSTEM_FOR_DIETPI.sh
Unfortunately the script aborted with the statement that DietPi can't be installed on armv5tel devices.

Therefore I brought up an issue on their github: Issue 2134

MichaIng, one of the major contributors did give an answer that I can completely understand in terms of supporting "outdated" hardware.

My opinion is, that "old" hardware must be used as long as possible! If there are good and up-to-date solutions to use them, they must be adopted instead of throwing the hardware away.

Maybe somebody of this group is interested and has the resources to assist the guys from DietPi to enable the DietPi project for Kirkwood devices.

Cheers
Michael
