Long time follower, first time poster - so consider me as noob.

I have been trying to install Nitroid using auto-installer 0.2.7 on PR 1.3, but I have some mysterious problem, which I didn't find anywhere else in forums.

I have typed following:

>root (same as sudo gainroot)
>apt-get install nitroid-installer

And then this comes:
>
>"reading package lists... Done"
>"building dependency tree"
> "Reading state information... Done"
> "E: Couldn't find package nitroid-installer

Now, I have checked and double checked repositories (extras, extras-devel, extras-testing) and even using different fremantles: fremantle and fremantle-1.3. Still same problem.

Additional attempt which I did was using Faster Application Manager to install nitroid-installer 0.2.6 and then upgrading nitroid-installer 0.2.7. Symptoms were as expected, this was successfull and icon dissapeared. But once I tried using this trick with xTerminal and "nitroid" command, it didn't find that file or program at all. Am I lost in directories or so ? I have tried in MyDocs, with no luck.

Other poster's screenshots look so good, that I really would appreciate some help here.

Thanks

is this project dead?

can anyone plz help me,i have a 2g sd and am stuck on formatting /dev/mmcblk1p2 (ext3)"

no he didn't, i just installed mine yesterday, on the emmc too!
1. enable all repos (testing,devel,extras,even the default nokia ones) and skip updating via appman.
2. close appman open xterm
then type y
if it asks again type y again
after nitdroid-installer installs, install the attached installer, just copy it to ur N900 and open it via appman (for no formatting ext3 stuck hiccup)
finally, open xterm
it will do everything for u, u won't even touch ur phone!
ENJOY
p.s. if u want to know how to install it on emmc, ull gotta do a minor extra step after nitdroid completely installs. pm me to know more.
