    3)disconnect from mass storage

    4) open xterm

    mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2
    mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
    cd /and
    tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
    dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitroid/nitdroid-ke(press tab it will auto complete the filename)

    I had this happen.
    Went back to /home/user/MyDocs and did this:
    bzip2 -d NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
    then
    cd /and
    tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar

    Not sure..
    I also didn't do
    mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2 or
    rm -f *

    But is still works, no airplane mode on startup, even made a call to my phone from a landline and it connected (didn't answer it though).
    Go figure.

    Hi,
    How long does the first bootup take?
    I followed your instructions and now I am still at a black screen with white cursor on left top.
    Any help is appreciated.

    You need to see the whole file name before hitting enter. On the screen, move your cursor to the last letter ..../nitdroid-ke then press the tab key on the screen, this will finish the whole file name for you, then hit enter, you will be fine.
