BTW, I hope you noticed I used the word "We", that means, even in my absence, some of you will help the poor soul with problems in installing, right? The N900 is really a forum-help computer!
I am still with 0.08, as I am really happy with 0.08, I heard some good thing about 0.09 as well as gingerbread, but I am heading for a trip this weekend, and is NOT in the mood of tweaking my N900 in a hotel ...
Again, anybody wants to play with Nitdroid and having problems in installing, come on down, we will take you thru'
I erased my nitdroid. I then started from scratch. I followed 1st post, using autoinstaller and installed 0.08, it took 8 min. I then followed this one, and now I am 0.09 with ALL my installed app. The whole process took 30 min.
To back up:
xterm
root
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
using winscp, I copied /and/data/app into a folder, I called /nitdroidDA.
I then do the upgrade. When done, I copied /nitdroidDA back to /and/data/app. I have over 150 apps installed over 1 minute.
post if questions,

I ran into partition issue before. It was resolved by following the "STEP 1" of the instruction in the wiki :http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install to partition the SD. After that I continued with the procedure(in post 1) of this thread and was able to complete the install without further issue.
Thanks for your reply cheve when i try to follow the step 1 as you said i get stuck again and it gives this error
Could not stat /dev/mmcblk1p2 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exists: did you specify it correctly?
what do i do now how do i solve this error please help
