You have no debian.img.ext2 on your memory cards.

When I run Debian image installer I get this error:

the file is already fully retrieved; noting to do.

And then it exits. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like your installer is downloading the file, but not extracting it. Could you please open a terminal window and type the following:

Code:

/home/user/img-install/installer.sh

This will run the installer, but it won't close the window when it's finished, so you can report what it says after "the file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do".

It should sit for a long time saying nothing but "debian.img.ext2", as it extracts the image, but it sounds like there's something wrong with the extraction process. Funny, there's supposed to be an error window if the extraction fails, I wonder why there isn't...
