Yes. You were in the wrong folder so dpkg was not finding the .deb file to install.

1) Choose a Debian image :
There are some options of Debian images, see their detailed description in post #137.
It's recommended to use the most stable image where all Easy Debian icons work, it is a scientific version of Qole's default Easy Debian image, debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma (04/08/2012, 486 MB of download, 2GB after uncompressing, 176 MB available inside it). If downloaded before 04/08/2012, please download it again as it was updated. Copy it to "/home/user/MyDocs/" then, as user in Terminal :
$ cd ~/MyDocs
$ xz -d debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma

when I try to enter $ cd ~/MyDocs

it tells me

sh: cd: can't cd to /root/MyDocs

the file "debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma" is located in "/home/user/MyDocs/"

Thanks again

Pay attention to the instructions, you are logged as "root" user (after "devel-su") instead of "user" user. The instructions of 1st post says "Copy it to "/home/user/MyDocs/" then, as user in Terminal :
$ cd ~/MyDocs
$ xz -d debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma".

ah I see, I wasnt aware there was a difference. How do you access "user" and not "root"?

When you open a Terminal, you are as "user".

ok, so no password or devel-su are needed, great

just open terminal and immediately type

$ cd ~/MyDocs
$ xz -d debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma

Yes, "devel-su" is needed, see item B.3 of 1st topic :
"$ devel-su
type the root password, then :"
If the problem persists, as root remove xmimd before installing v1.2 :
# dpkg -r xmimd

Not yet available. See the topic "xmimd: X11 <-> Meego Input Method bridge".
