Xealots question
I have no experience of TR but make sure that it is pointing to the right place.

For example try to find the tr.conf file and change the line:

jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"

to the correct path for your OpenJDK

or as the error message suggested you could probably do something like

sh tr --jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"

My question

I've ordered an 8Gb microsd card to use purely for easy debian. I'm looking to increase the image size so that I can install some packages that I had some trouble with in the past. I found somebody else looking to do the same with instructions from matan but rebhana linked to qole suggesting not to go down this path.

unfortunately rebhana's link is now broken so I looked for some advice on qole's site about the image size

I wish I understood how to do this. so do I partition the sd card and then untar the image into it? then install easy debian and make it point to that image?
