Trying to install it on my microSD 16GO (class 10) following this tutorial but have troubles.

Have formatted it with Gparted: one partition 10Go ext2, one partition 1GO linux-swap, the rest formating in fat32.

Then have downloaded the "precise-preinstalled-mobile-armel+omap.img.gz " image (according to the link on the tutorial page).

Code:
zcat precise-preinstalled-mobile-armel+omap.img.gz > /dev/sdc1
(witch is my mSD ext3 part) succeed. But then the ext3 part seems to be corrupt (format is not recognized by gparted), and the fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc1 return the error:
Code:
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
fsck.ext3: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc1

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

Same result when I do:
Code:
gunzip precise-preinstalled-mobile-armel+omap.img.gz
dd bs=4096 if=precise-preinstalled-mobile-armel+omap.img of=/dev/sdd1
according to this page. (note that after the gunzip, I don't obtain a ".raw" file...)

Don't know if I use the right image file (or if I should use this one: "kubuntu-mobile-11.04-preinstalled-mobile-armel+omap.img.gz")...

Could you give me some explanation?
Thanks.
