That too. I assume he was doing this on his N900, so when that command failed, /mt/n900sd was left on rootfs, which was quickly filled.

It should work like this
Code:
# change directory
cd /home/user/MyDocs/

#decompress the image
lzma debian-*.lzma
Now add something like

IMGFILE=/home/user/MyDocs/debian-????.ext2

to /home/user/.chroot
and add a # before any of the other IMGFILE lines.

Please see my last post on this issue. I am typing this from my N900, so my typing speed is slowed.

It reboots during image extraction? Did it lock up before it rebooted, or did it just reboot out of the blue?

well sometimes reboots within the image extraction if i was extracting and using a lot of apps

but the reboots always happens when installing new packages inide the image it self lots of packages together like upgrading openoffice.org

so there is noway to create ext2 or ext3 at dev to install it to file system?

then did it work with you and how? (it must have worked with you unless you wouldn't post it in the thread ) maybe
I extracted easydebian to my microSD card, which apparently you do not have?
