Thank you.Infact I am trying out Estel's image which should be manually placed into the mount point.Qoles installer does not automatically recognise the newer image of Estel.I will try my luck with what you have taught to me till now.And I will track you down all over TMO as soon as my Thanks button is activated.Thanks again for your valuable time .
Good luck and take extra care with these 'experimental' features :D

Basically you have to use a temporary mount point like /mnt for the loopback device and mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 to /ed to copy everything from /mnt to /ed
Code:
sudo gainroot
mount -o loop /path/to/ed-squeeze-final.ext3 /mnt
mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /ed
cp -a /mnt/* /ed

Also, don't edit any Maemo scripts to mount Ed partition... ED chroot will mount everything for You when needed. Also, mount point /.debian/ is created automatically during ED installation.

All you have to do, is to mount Your newly created partition (You can do it even from Gpared liveCD, it doesn't need to be done from within Maemo itself), mount Your image via loopback command, and copy Ed content.

On ED thread, eight wrote step-by-step instruction about mounting and copying if You have partition created already - check it for instructions.
