It then asks you for the last result, which would be the just-plugged-in tablet. It then asks for it again without the number on the end, then with a 3 on the end. These entries are used as variables that are referred to during the partitioning, mounting, etc.

The problem with looking by size is that different people have different sizes (that's what she said) of SD cards and having used a bunch of them, many have weird sizes when coming from strange places in Shenzhen, China. (931MB instead of 1024MB)
Sorry if we set you off a bit But seriously, fanoush posted code on the previous page that generates a list of scsi drives and the vendor. If we were going to go for a polished installer, I would use his code to find the drive with "NOKIA" as the vendor.

And to answer your earlier question, the only "easy install guide" I'm aware of is in the "getting nitdroid running" thread. I ran your script, when 0.3.2 first came out but all it did was download the latest versions of everything and untar them on my linux host. It didn't actually try to mount or untar them to the nit. Plus at the time, solca missed out on updating the symliks so I ended up having to download everything by hand before untarring again and reflashing by hand.

If there's a newer guide somewhere else, or if you've gone back there and updated it, then awesome, please post a link! Finally, the Ubuntu CD when booted into live doesn't recognize any of my three Thinkpads' built-in wired or wireless Ethernet adapters, and I can't blow away my Rocks Cluster frontend, so I never got to test out the instructions in an Ubuntu setting.
