its a while since I did this, but, yes the unknown operand doesnt look right!

Did you go straight through step 4 in the same xterm?

The error is only for the multiboot so it might be fixable! and might be fixed by step 5.

Do the first command in step 5 and see if you get a blank file in leafpad. If it is blank then that means more fixing is required!

Not certain at this point

! depends what has actually been missed out due to the error you got. As far as Im aware the install should have no errors, but it may depend on what else you have installed of course. e.g. the "apt-get install nitdroid-installer" you did first should have worked cleanly.

Didi you have a look at any youtube videos? This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q1bi...eature=related covers install of 0.0.9. You should get similar output from each command i.e. some produce big long lists other produce no output at all.

yeah!! thats the 1 i was watching when i was confused. :O how the heck! wait! does leafpad to ages to open up and show words on it? because whn i typed it up (my phone was a lil bit slugish when i was getting the other stuff) it took its time and showd me a blank page... what if you manuly wrote the stuff on leafpad... would that work?

also! would it be because iv put

Code:

 leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.06.item

the d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.06 part?

leafpad might take a second or siz I guess. File stil shouldnt be empty though!

Well yes typing the whole file in should work if its just the file contents thats missing

THis is what my file has in it

Code:

ITEM_NAME="NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

Yes its quite a big IF!
