Thanks. Maybe I'm just confused...My issue was that I cloned freshly flashed OS to 2 GB sd using ONLY install-tools.deb., and ended up with just 120 MB free space left on the card. Since this was less than you said needed to be there to go on to install KDE, I thought something had gone wrong.

Maybe you'll say that there *is* plenty of room on the relevant partition (the one that the OS is on), and that 120 MB is just the size of the other, irrelevant partition that is viewable by my windows machine????
