Completely other note. Tried the "check: show menus provided by WM ..." something using click/hold on desktop (settings). Don't do that. Now there's no going back. :/ Maybe something needs to change in the release of a new package.

EDIT:
Seems I had to

Code:

~/.config/pcmanfm $ vi main.lxde

and set the

Code:

show_wm_menu=0

to get the menu back.

Redownload it - now takes multiple commands as the second argument. The only downside is that the first has to be with path like that:

Code:

hostwin AppName "/usr/bin/sudo debian hilda xephwm LXDE startlxde1" "What should be written inside"

It even took less code than the previous

Code:

- string[] buf = new string[1];
-
- buf[0] = filename;
- Process.spawn_async( null, buf, null, SpawnFlags.DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD, null, out this.pid );
+ Process.spawn_async( null, filename.split(" "), null, SpawnFlags.DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD, null, out this.pid );

From a newbie perspective, I found the install flawless as promised. I have an 810 with a 8Gb external card. When I rebooted I found all in place and went to give it a go...

Impatience with the load times caused a crash and reboot. Bottom line is patience and learning to be comfortable with 'full' debian on the IT. Looks like I have a new learning curve to tackle.

Regardless, great work all!!! Looking forward to watching progress toward v1.0

LordFu and darrennewman: Please try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnutar bzip2
Please report to me anything that looks like an error.

That seems to have solved it. The file is extracting on my tablet, as I write this. Thanks!

I need to sit down and become more familiar with apt-get.

Edit: Arg, it's stopped at 461MB and says:

Code:

tar:  debian-final.img.ext2:  wrote only 2560 of 10240 bytes

Bad download? Our dsl at the office is slow, so I'll try redownloading it when I get home, this evening.

Remember to set your CPU to "Performance" mode...

And, hey, if you think things are slow now, be glad you didn't try the old version. These are actually pretty good speeds now.

LordFu: That sounds like something is wrong on your tablet. Bad download? Bad (corrupted) SD card? I'm not sure...

Yeah, it may be time to reformat my SD cards. The file checks out with winrar.

Also, make sure you have about 1.2 GB free on your SD card after downloading.

I was unable to run anything. When I tryed to run debbie fom xterm, it complained about /bin/ash not found. Solved it by linking ash->/bin/bash inside the chroot

Yeah, free-space isn't the issue.

I've been using my N800 to transfer data to my SD cards, and my cards often get "corrupted" when transfering multiple GBs of small files; audio, images, etc.

Don't know why, but this wouldn't be the first time it has happened. Thanks for the help. Like I said, it works fine if I put the uncompressed image on the card.

I think I'll go pick up a sdhc card reader.
