i downloaded the image file (http://qole.org/files//debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2.lzma) and extracted it and put it in MyDocs
when i open easy debian installed it goes straight to downloading the image file, what did i do wrong?

You have the possibility to choose ext2 or ext3 and some more options i guess as filesystem for the image (or even partition which is much faster). Yes, config file is located in /home/user/.chroot where you have to define path / filename and fs-type of the image / partition.
Btw, i'm using the Mer0.17testing11 image on a 5GB-partition at internal eMMC: Netbeans, Kile, Gimp, Inkscape, Abiword, Gnumeric and Dia are running well...

No, either change fs-type in configfile or convert the image with a tool!
