Yes. You were in the wrong folder so dpkg was not finding the .deb file to install.
Choosing a Debian image : Easy Debian needs a Debian image (ext2 or ext3 type) in "/home/user/MyDocs" and named "debian*.img*". You need 3GB (or more) available on "MyDocs" partition. 1) Choose a Debian image : There are some options of Debian images, see their detailed description in post #137. It's recommended to use the most stable image where all Easy Debian icons work, it is a scientific version of Qole's default Easy Debian image, debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma (04/08/2012, 486 MB of download, 2GB after uncompressing, 176 MB available inside it). If downloaded before 04/08/2012, please download it again as it was updated. Copy it to "/home/user/MyDocs/" then, as user in Terminal : $ cd ~/MyDocs $ xz -d debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma
