It would be nice for new people doing this to see some sort of progress bar on the uncompression because with no feedback the first time I think i escaped the window, thinking there was going to be no indication of a finished uncompression and install.

Now nothing regarding debian works. OO, synaptic, iceweasel, anything.... I'm re downloading and trying a reinstall but now I'm worried another almost 2 gigs of space taken up on my card and also maybe double installation of some things.

An hour Later: No luck. I kill as many apps as i can and then try to run debian lxde and it comes up with a window that says

"this is a debian lxde window. Instead of closing this window you should log out." None of the other apps work.

Another hour later: I uninstalled easy mer and now it works.
