did you run an "apt-get update"? Do it again and paste the results.

You skipped/missed/did not do step 3), right?
========================================
...
3) download & install required extra software
Code:

apt-get install bzip2 wget
apt-get install multiboot multiboot-kernel-maemo
...
=========================================

No. NITdroid-installer, kernel, multiboot all these goodies will NOT show up in app manager until steps 4) and 5). I would NOT even look for this goodies not if there is any problem. Installation is thru xterm>root>nitroid, step 5)

For people that are late to the party, everything you need is on thread #1. I have editted thread #1 when new info are available. And I have followed thread #1 to make more nitdroid SD as recent as yesterday, and so far, everything you need is there. No need to browse thru 450 posts, only if you are interested.

Me? I have booted into nitdroid much often then maemo lately and it is really fun to browse android market too, over 100,000 apps.

Dont forget to thank the nitdroid developers and project keeper....

I ran apt-get update then apt-get install nitdroid-installer and it went fine. the installer stops while formatting ext3, so I tried (Step 1 Partition 1-3 and reboot) here:http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install
but I am stuck again.
When I do umount /dev/mmcblk1p1, it says umount: cannot umount /dev/mmcblk1p1: invalid argument, I think this is because my memory card is not currently being detected by the device, I have had this problem before, will let you know what happens

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation
 

maemo boot
xterm
root
cat /proc/partitions

you should see mmcblk1p2. If not, keep doing partition till it is there. I sometimes have to do it 2 times. I do not recall doing it 3 X though. If yes, partition is correct, ignor the umount command, proceed with xterm/root/nitdroid

i wonder why i cant play racing using the accelerometer when using nitdroid 0.07..it keeps going to left no matter how i tilt my phone..please help

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation
 

Something annoys me with the installer... why so big UI? I liked it at 800x480, any way to get that back with the installer?
If its doable, i'll reinstall this. (It has bricked my phone once, i wont let it do it again.)
