~ $ cd /media/mmc1
/media/mmc1 $ ls
debian-chroot-img-v2.tar.bz2
debian.img.ext2
wget-log
/media/mmc1 $

the files are internet the right place but the debian chroot dose not open correctly?

Re: the gimp
 

I would redo the entire Easy debian from scratch. It sounds like it did not load properly. When it loads correctly it will ask you which mmc card you want to install the debian file to. Then it tells you after that you have successfully installed. Just go into app manager and uninstall the Easy Debian hen redo installation. Follow Qole directions and reboot.

Reinstall Easy Debian chroot carefully following every step of Qole's instructions. It works perfectly on my N800. I've installed it 2 or 3 times after reflashing the device for various reasons and it worked every time.

Re: the gimp
 

is this the correct page to download from?

ddw?

Re: the gimp
 

That's the page I used. The final step after running the "Debian Image Installer" is to reboot. Did you? I don't remember if I had to reboot to get mine working.

Edit: The documentation says that you need least 1.3gb free on one of your memory cards. Do you?

Re: the gimp
 

silly question, once the 'debian image installer' has downloaded and reached 100% has the process finished? or do i have to leave it connected andit 'extracts the files all by it's self? the prodecure says the extraction takes about 15 mins, but how do i extract? [i'm on my 4th big download trying to get it to work]

thanks

OK Moshing once you install from app manager you need to find the debian Image Installer in Extras menu. Click on it and when its done it will tell you successfully installed. At some point it will ask you which mmc card you want to install easy Debian. select mmc1(external) or mmc2(internal) for N800. The whole process takes me about 30-40 minutes from start to finish. i've done it about four times. Follow Qole directions to the letter.
