I keep getting an error after downloading the image file. A box comes up saying
"TAR ERROR

ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!

TAR FAILED!

(MAYBE OUT OF SPACE ERROR)

Unable to install EASY DEBIAN IMAGE FILE"

Under the box in the terminal it says "tar: unrecognized option '--usecompress-program'

I have 3.2 gig spare on my memory card and 30.8 m on my N800.

Do you think the tar file is corrupted?
