matatron: You're having the same problem as andrewfblack... I think someone has changed the tar package so you have to use "gtar" now instead of "tar"...

I'm going to have to issue an update for Easy Debian quickly.

In the meantime, here's a quick fix. Enter these two commands into the terminal, then run the installer again. You shouldn't have to re-download the image file.

Code:
sudo mv /bin/tar /bin/busytar
sudo ln -s /bin/gtar /bin/tar
This replaces the link to the busybox version of tar with a link to the "real" gnutar version.
