I did not understand Mankir post in my response.Can any one help me & tell me what to do next.Initially i manually downloaded the debian image file & decompressed it to 2GB on my PC & copied to home/user/doc,but when i run any of the installaed easy debian icon it shows"errow,you have no debian.img.ext2 file on your memory cards...".But actually i have the file in the phone memory placed under my doc.Please let someone here tell me where i am going wrong & what to do next.

lyanyola: If you downloaded and decompressed the image, you do NOT need to run the installer anymore.

You should be able to run the other Easy Debian applications now. If they don't work, what error do you get?

It shows"errow you have no debian.img.ext2 on your memory cards,please use the debian image installer in the exstras".This is the errow message i get.Does it mean that i must use external memory card rather than using the phone's memory to place my decomressed 2GB file,before it can be detected by easy debian application?.

lyanyola: You can put the file into MyDocs (shows as "N900" on PC) or an external card. The file must start with "debian" and end with "img.ext2" to work.

qole:That is what i have been saying that the image file is debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2 & it has exactly 2147483648 bytes & i placed it in a folder under home/user/myDocs but the installed ED is not sensing it, each time i run anyone of its icon on my menu it show i dont have the file(as quoted in my last post before this one).Initially i tried downloading the LZMA file through the Deb App Ins,after download it fails to extract,that is why i resorted to manual download from the link you gave in your wikki and subsequently decompressed it on my PC,but it also appear not to work.So what can i do to get debian app working on my N900? .

lyanyola, please reboot your phone and then open a terminal. Type
Code:
sudo debian
and post the output here, please. (Copy and paste on the N900 is easiest)

You have no debian.img.ext2 file on your memory cards.

Please use the Debian Image Installer in Extras.
~ $ sudo debian
Chroot dir specified: /.debian
No image file or partition specified.
ls: /home/user/MyDocs/debian*.img*: No such file or directory
ls: /media/mmc1/debian*.img*: No such file or directory
~ $

Qole:Above is the message i got when i type SUDO DEBIAN on the Terminal.Thank you for the concern.

You need to press esc to get out.

No esc key.
The pdf is above the on screen keyboard.

Is there a key combination that escapes?

Thanks
heres an easier solution

edit /home/user/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml

change

<keybind key="F11">
<action name="ToggleFullscreen"/>
</keybind>

to

<keybind key="C-comma">
<action name="ToggleFullscreen"/>
</keybind>

then you can use CTRL-<comma> to toggle every app back and to fullscreen.
