You're going to need a Linux host if you want to try NITdroid, both to flash the kernel in R&D mode and also to restore the Maemo kernel without erasing your device. You can get the job done using Knoppix (http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html), but you'll need to downlad the flasher and kernel every time you reboot. Xubuntu is a small Linux distribution that will fit into ~10GB of space on your hard disk, and is easy to install in a dual-boot configuration. Check out http://www.xubuntu.org/ for more info, and to download the installation media.

Well, technically... if you download it once onto a thumb drive, or (usually) even onto your hard drive, you can then access it each time.

ok..i've used the latest knoppix and i've followed the steps on guug but now my n800 keeps flashing a robot and reboots and flashing and not flashing and turns off and on the lcd and the the robot flashes this is dooing for the past 15minutes...is something wrong or is this normal??

edit: the partition for the extracted files is on internal sd and partition 3 (linux with ext3 filesystem) with aprox. 300MB space...
edit1: now it stopped restarting and it's only blinking the robot...(time passed 5 min since it started to blink the robot...)

300MB is too small partition i think. Try to connect with adb to it (You will need linux though).

Maybe I'm missing something: Where do I get the sound-less copy of the files? I only see links to the regular rootfs and kernel on the page... I tried yet again unsuccessfully with those downloaded filies. :'(

Pycage? How did you get it to work?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 
The last version of the userspace files is soundless. so if you didn't download them soon, do so.
