jaeezzy: I think your problem is caused by the recent movement of 'lenny' to 'stable'. Clear out your Debian /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure it has only these three lines:

Thanks qole for the reply it worked gr8.. But still I couldn't install Mplayer at all but this time I was going well through installing Elisa Media Center until xterm started showing 'No space left on device' and couldn't install successfully. Though there is icon for Elisa it doen't execute so I tried to uninstall it but can't same message 'No space left on device' is shown and when I do: 'df -h' it shows 0 available space. So, what do I do now. I followed the instruction on acquiring some extra space but it didn't help. So, I'm completely helpless, so plz help. Thank you.

hi qole,

When I open up Debian image installer, it asks me which mmc file to use, and I pick mmc1. Then it says "downloading and extracting to /media/mmc1... You already have the big image file! Checking to see if it is good.

Downloading Easy debian image file paakage...debian-final.img.ext2"

Is it from here that I wait to see it do something?

Thanks.

jaeezzy: I don't have any good advice beyond what has been given elsewhere about freeing up space, etc. I think you're a prime candidate for setting up a dedicated partition on your SD card.

Un27Pee: If you want to use OpenOffice, you're fine. The repository list update is only for installing new stuff.

njogo: from inside the chroot, "apt-get install abiword"

will abiword allow me to read word docs that are emailed to me? Or docs off a flash drive?

qole,

in chroot I typed "apt-get install abiword" and it says:
Reading package lists...Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information...Done
abiword is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 335 not upgraded.

Then it put me back at the prompt.

I had abiword in the installable apps, but when I installed it, it said operation failed.
Do I need a different repository? Is this a debian file? (see I've learned something already!)
Suggestions?
Thanks!

njogo: sounds like you've got Abiword.
Now you need to install Personal Menu and make a menu item that runs the command line, "debbie abiword"
