Would you suggest trying it out with the procedure here:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/Custom_Install ?

But as said, this method has worked with all the other Debian Live
images I have tried.

As said, I checked for version mismatch - the file is 4.0 and there
was a line just before the failure saying that squashfs 4.0 has been
loaded.  Are there versions within 4.0?

I have not done any configuration - simply downloaded the image from
the link given and installed in the manner described.

Thanks a lot!
