Thank you i wanted to be sure

I'm trying the installer script now.
It comes to the flasher part
Looks lie it hangs on the flasher part.


unmounting android partition
umount: cannot umount /and: Device or resource busy
rmdir: '/and': Device or resource busy
Preparing to flash Kernel
Version 0.4.4 started
Waiting for messages

yep thats a crash, i dont think kernel world work neway as i dontthink its possible to active r&d on device, a better ver of the script is being worked on though

After running the script that stopped with the flashing, I did a flash from my pc with:
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset,no-ext-wd -f -k NIT-zImage -R

I had to create the bootmenu file. It wasn't created with the script.
Android came up on first boot. I thought I saw something about it had to reboot a couple of times before it would start....
The wifi worked and connected to my WLAN.
I tried youtube but always got the message cannot play video...

yea youtubeis slightly dodgy, builds not perfect but good to see the main part works - as i said theirs an edited ver coming soon

DJ_Steve has now written a script, which is now in a usable state.
(I made a few edits to make it work though)

Please read the entire post before doing anything.

NOTES:

• This may kill your cat/dog/computer/N900, it's your responsibility!
• You must add extras-devel in your repository list, read more here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel (Instructions at the bottom, read the warning on top first)
• You will also need to flash the kernel manually, read more here: http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?t...stall#Flashing

Note about flashing, here's how to install flasher(on Windows):
Short instructions:
(Commands are quoted, you should not type the quotes however)

• Enable extras-devel
• Open App manager, install rootsh
• Open Xterm, type "root" then "cd /"
• Now type "apt-get install wget"
• Then type "wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/autoinstaller/installer.sh"
• Then you need to type "chmod 777 installer.sh"
• At last, type "./installer.sh <size of FAT32 partition in MB>"
• Read warnings in terminal, and wait!
• Flash
• Reboot with keyboard slid out
• Choose the "Android" item
• (Hopefully) Enjoy NITDroid.

PS#2: Hope you aren't annoyed with the colored title text

./installer.sh gives the error:
-sh: ./installer.sh: not found
(For the record, its there.. and I even opened in leafpad and changed an error in the script)

If I don't apply chmod 777 I simply get a Permission Denied error. What on Earth is going on :S

"sh installer.sh" also doesn't work, echos the first few lines then gives a crapload of errors

I read the post, have some questions about the part Flash.

1) mind to post the link for the latest image, http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Autoin...-zImage-latest or http://newsycat.com/android/n900/zImage-0.0.3-a ?
2) I have a windowXP box. I also have a linux Mint box, which one is less prone to fail? I am a windowXP boy

Edit: I take a look at the script, apparantly all the files need to be flashed will be dl and stored in MyDocs. Do I just flash the 3 files from MyDocs will take care of it?

TIA,
