install debian via web interface fails
Roki
I flashed Alt-F 0.1B7 on my DNS 323 (Rev. C1), but downloading a
debian for chroot always fails with this message. So how can I solve
this problem?

Never had this error. Anybody has?
What directory have you specified for the Debian install? Is there enough space available?

As it works for me, I need some more detais in order to fix it.
The unable to decompress can only be caused by lack of /tmp space.
-Do you have at least one swap partition setup? (Alexander at least has)
-What amount of Swap appears in the status page, section System?
-what is the output of the command 'df -h' on the command line?
-Are you specifying an install path such as /mnt/sda2 or /mnt/md0 (you should) or a deeper one?
Thanks

I said /mnt/md0, but currently Debian doesn't kexec from raid; chroot shouldn't be a problem.

because of its label) with 2.2GB space left. It still fails, but I
managed to install debian on a harddisc (mnt/sdb2). I have 1,3GB Swap
(500MB on each HDD and 300MB on USB).

I tried to install Debian on /mnt/data and /mnt/system (dev/md0) no
luck.
You said about /tmp, but it is only 63M.

That should be the problem, filesystems mounted by label.
Please try to intall on filestems without label. I knew that this
could be a problem, but forgot to fix it.
That's why it is important to record issues in the Issues section of
the code site.

Swap is important, but mainly because it increases /tmp size to 64MB.
That should be related to the inahbility to decompress.

Having swap on usb pens is not a good idea: it is slow writing, and
wears out the flash chip inside the pen. Alt-F sets all swaps with the
same priority, so reading and writing is done almost in parallel to
all swap devices.
