I have few questions and I'm sorry if this is wrong section to put them up, this seemed to be the one to me.


Q; If i install NITDroid, is there a chance to brick my device?
no, the n900 is near enough impossible to brick as it can always be recovered using flasher. only major system edit is flashing the nitdroid kernel anyway, other than that all edits are confined to memory card

Q; Is the "brick" revertable? If yes, how?
flasher can flash back to stock maemo kernel


Q; If newer version of NITDroid get released, I have to format my SD to get rid of the old one and re-apply the procedure to install it?
usually requires a reformat of just the ext3 partition on mem card to update

Thanks and sorry if this is wrong section once more. :)

run ./installer <size> where size is the size you want fat32 partition to be eg. ./installer.sh 2048 would make 2048mb fat32
