qole's "Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!" thread is long, but it is where he looks for those who need help. Posting your request there will likely lead to faster assistance.

And as a side note, it's "Debian", as in "Deb + Ian".

How about manually downloading the *.img file (http://qole.org/files/debian-chroot-img-final.tar.bz2) and untarring it?

Re: major debien problem!!! help!!!!!
 

ok... could u tell me how to do that bc i have no idea how to. im not to smart with this stuff

Re: major debien problem!!! help!!!!!
 

That's OK, it took me a while too :)

Download the file and save it to the root of one of your memory cards (should be the same you selected with the installer).

Then open up the X Terminal application and:

tar -jxf /media/mmc[12]/debian-chroot-img-final.tar.bz2

where [12] is either 1 (external memory.card) or 2 (internal).

Try to see if Easy Debian 'just works', if it doesn't, you'll need to edit /home/user/.chroot file (which is really easy).

And that 'should work', no promises though ;)

OK, forget everything I said. Let's try a different strategy...

What is the *exact* (copy/paste) output of the Debian Image Installer?

Re: major debien problem!!! help!!!!!
 

nvm i got that but it now says

tar: error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: child returned status 2
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors



now what do i do.. thanks

Re: major debien problem!!! help!!!!!
 

I have no idea... Is this using those commands above or the installer? Because I just tried the installer, and it worked grand.

Re: major debien problem!!! help!!!!!
 

im not sure... but what do i do for the installer.... can u just tell me every click and everything i type and make it easy haha... thank u for helping me btw
