The instructions are pretty clear - when logged in as "user" (ie. not super user/root):
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
cd ~/bin
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/nupgrade.sh
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/tar
chmod +x nupgrade.sh tar
You don't become root (via sudo gainroot) until later.

What is Sardine? I have not yet cloned the OS to the memory card? I thought that what's step 7-3 does. Just too new, but I did make it this far with your help and Fanoush and Bunanson. I just want to finish, celebrate and go to sleep.

Ah sorry, I became confused when you referred to step 5 and step 6... I have modified the wording in the instructions as there are (were) two references to a step 5 and 6 which lead to my confusion!

Ignore the instructions in step 7.3 (see updated instructions) - you don't need to do this, it's entirely optional. Once you have completed step 7.2 you are done, finished.

A link to Sardine is provided in the instructions (see 7.3), where the purpose of Sardine is explained in the "About" page. Suffice to say, you don't want or need it.
