Easy Debian img help?

Have a look for the filename in the config-file at ~/.chroot, lzma is compressed. try uncompressing...

You have the possibility to choose ext2 or ext3 and some more options i guess as filesystem for the image (or even partition which is much faster). Yes, config file is located in /home/user/.chroot where you have to define path / filename and fs-type of the image / partition.
Btw, i'm using the Mer0.17testing11 image on a 5GB-partition at internal eMMC: Netbeans, Kile, Gimp, Inkscape, Abiword, Gnumeric and Dia are running well...

No, either change fs-type in configfile or convert the image with a tool!

Should work now, maybe reboot required? There is also a much bigger thread about this topics...
