YES!!!!! It works!!!!! Oh yeah, thank you SO MUCH man!

qole when using Debian installer I get an error why extracting. Tar Failed (Maybe out of space error) but there is over 3.5GB left. I tried to see if I could extract it manually but I get an error then as well when the extracted file is about 1.1GB The downloaded file is 314mb got any ideas?

Andrew: I don't know why you'd have problems with your image file. Like you said, the extracted file is 1.1 GB, the tar file is 314 MB, and those two combined are still a lot smaller than 3.5GB. I can't imagine that you'd have problems downloading it, since it is hosted on your server...

When you try to extract it manually, using the following command, what is the error?

I get invalid option --j

That sounds like you don't have "real" tar. That's odd, since I made my Easy Debian package depend on it.

Try installing tar manually, using:

If you get errors from that, please post the output of

I'd also be curious to know what version of easy-deb-chroot you've got:

I have 0.9.12 installed I have gnutar version 1.20-1maemo4 if i try gtar instead of just tar I get the 1.1GB file but I get error at end something about not being able to change permission.

A permission error is harmless (it can't set permissions on the file since it is a fat32 filesystem which doesn't support permissions), and you should be able to proceed to use the extracted image file.

Tried what all do I need to do to open the programs that come with it?

Well, the icons that were added to your menu should all work, and you should be able to run applications by using the command "debbie <appname>" ...

If nothing seems to be working, please do like I asked in a previous post:
