Dockstar debian image for USB Stick?

My old USB Stick is broken and my dockstar debian system is away... (I can connect to the dockstar into the rescue system.)

My question is, how can i create a new debian on a new USB stick? Exist here anywhere a simple Image that i can put on a USB Drive? Something like http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz (see: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-dockstar ) but with debian

Maybe i can use the script http://projects.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh again. But it's not needed to install rescue again and the debootstrap takes a long time.

There exists a way to use debootstrap in two steps: First step on the PC and second step on the dockstar. Is it not a good idea to create a archive from the first step?

Looks for davygravy posts. His signature has links where you can find a rootfs image that will boot on the Dockstar.

Thank you.

Found them here:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7676
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,6965
etc.

Maybe the doozan tutorial page http://projects.doozan.com/debian/ should add these links?

If i see it clearly, there is only newer U-Boot, Rescue System and Kernel... But a prepared rootfs image seems only exist for NSA320: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nwt2kbvetvgvroo/c2V9HsP_C7/Kirkwood/rootfs_images

The NSA-320 tarball will boot on just about any Kirkwood box... just don't use the UBoot image in it for your Dockstar.

Ah! If i had that Information yesterday, i had saved a few hours to build a debian from stratch ;)

My debian is downloadable here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10577181/DockStar/2012-09-02DockStar2.6.32-5Backup.tar.lzma

Jedie or anyone that can help.
I had my flash drive go bad and I'm having a hard time loading debian back on my dockstar from the server. I'm a bit of a noob...Can you let me know how I use your backup tar to make my usb drive bootable into debian again.
Thx
