So I thought to give this another try.
That was a mistake. *lol*
I downloaded the debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2.lzma from your site and extracted it with 7zip to my Desktop Windows Computer.
From there I transferred the debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2 file to my memory card (fat32) by USB and installed easy-deb-chroot from Extras.
Whenever I try anything I'm getting the error that there's no debian.img.ext2 file on my memory card.
From here I clicked on the Debian Image Installer and dug myself even deeper since it's downloading something and I can't find a way to stop it.
Why can't I just be normal like you guys?
Edit:
Also did a reboot and still received the same error.

) If you use the older image, it should work just fine.

I'm going to make a new version of the image on the weekend, and I'll make a mini version (less than 2GB) for tablet users. I am totally shocked that a 2GB image would fail like this, but ... good to know, I guess...

hordeman:
If you want to have a dedicated partition (honestly, a good idea for the tablets, since it is faster than even the "turbo" dm-loop), untar the contents of debian-m5-v3b-rootfs.tar.bz2 into a formatted ext2 partition. You can do this (as root) on any Linux computer, not just the tablet. I would use something like gparted to partition and format the SD card.

So I went ahead and Googled "formatted ext2 partition" windows since I'm running XP.
Here's where my friendly first link took me.
The following immediate link brought me to this excellent post.

I hate you people! *lol*
To answer your question Horde, I'm using EmelFM2 as my file manager thingy.

Addison: My Google search took me to the Ext2 File System Driver for Windows project page.
But if you get a halfway-decent partition editor for Windows, it will support ext2 format.
One really neat alternative is to get the GParted Live CD. Burn the ISO to a CD or put it on a bootable USB stick. Then you can boot to GParted and partition your SD card to have an ext2 partition from there.
