MisterSorin:
Copy the file that you download to your MyDocs folder (this shows as the "Nokia N900" device when plugged into a PC by USB), and then run the image installer that came with Easy Debian. It will find the file, check it for errors, and then decompress it.
PS: Get a wireless router. What's the point of an N900 without an Internet connection?

Don't decompress it, like I said, the installer will do that.

Close Debian (/usr/share/applications/hildon/closechroot.desktop) seems to be wrong.
What it does is: sudo closechroot /debian
while it should do: sudo closechroot /.debian

Metalov: Yes, I know. This is explained a few posts above.
(EDIT: My fixed version will have a proper bugzilla field, since that seems to stress out the tester "archebyte" to no end)
EDIT2: Ah, you are reporting a different, but related error. I have fixed that one too in the new Extras-devel version.

Flynx:
You are right, I should use /.debian instead of /debian as my default mount point in my script.
This will not cause a problem in new installs, because I have changed this in the ~/.chroot config file, but it will cause a problem for users updating from previous versions, because it doesn't update previously installed .chroot files.
As a workaround, change the "CHROOT=/debian" line to "CHROOT=/.debian" in your /home/user/.chroot file.

I tried to install easy-deb-chroot_0.9.36 but I get an error message with unable to install easy-deb-chroot application packages missing bzip2 wget. Are there alternatives to install debian on n900 ? maybe some commands in xterminal ?

MisterSorin: Yes, there are alternatives. Get an Internet connection and download from the repositories!
If you insist on downloading the packages from another computer and installing via dpkg -i, you will also have to install the bzip2 and wget packages to your N900 as well.

try open the terminal and type
if getroot leaves an error message you need to install rootsh from the application manager, if bzip2 and wget installation leaves an error there is something wrong with your application managerCode:sudo getroot apt-get install bzip2 wget
