I tried to follow the command after deleting everything in mydocs, but another error popped up. What are my options now ?

You already had root rights, just neglect it. What does
Code:
df
report now. If numbers are okay, which they should remount the partition for MyDocs, /dev/mmcblk0p1.

Try later to get rid of the install issue
Code:
sudo gainroot
mkdir /usr/share/doc/libsmpeg0
dpkg --configure -a

This is the output for df.

Should I proceed with the next step or is there anything else that needs to be done ?

Should i reboot my phone before attempting to fix the update issues ?

Do I need to go through the official program to update, or is there a terminal command that might do the job ?

Cheers, it worked perfectly

Thanks for all your time and help guys, and making it so easy for a relative newb such as myself.

For anybody else who may stumble upon this thread :

If your n900 doesnt boot up after the installs, try booting the original kernel, and then use the following terminal commands:

Code:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
That should fix the 'cant flash kernel/guru meditation errors' you may have.

For starters you could provide these informations...
Please copy and paste the complete output of these commands in X-Terminal application:
Code:
mount
df
free
Do you have rootsh installed?
