Addison: It is "untar" not "unrar".

I think your best bet is to put the tar.bz2 file on your tablet (somewhere you can access it from the tablet itself), along with the partitioned card, then open a terminal and type:

Code:

sudo su -
qmount /dev/mmcblk?p? /floppy
cd /floppy
gtar xjvf /media/mmc?/debian-m5-v3b-rootfs.tar.bz2 .
cd /
qumount /floppy

You have to substitute the correct numbers wherever I put a ? above. Hopefully you partitioned your card with a FAT partition followed by an ext2 partition. So your qmount line will probably read /dev/mmcblk1p1 and, if you put the bz2 file on the internal memory of an N810, the gtar line might read /media/mmc1/debian-m5-v3b-rootfs.tar.bz2
