However after some tweeking my test slug needs to be reinstalled, is
there any way of reinstalling the debain OS or do i have to go back to
the linksys firmware and reinstall from scratch?


To reinstall Debian from scratch, you can use upslug2 to write the
Debian installer image to the NSLU2, and reboot. If you have just
screwed up the kernel/initramfs stored in the flash (i.e. you system
no longer boots), and you don't want to reinstall from scratch, then
use upslug2 to write the image at

http://cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/files/sda1-2.6.18.dfsg.1-12.bin

to revive the system.
