ok, final update of the night, im uploading a rootfs momentarily which has google apps in it, also going to put up a link to adb as this is required to get the apps going (ive not managed to get it downloading anything but ill let others examine that also. more update with instructions coming up soon

Link: http://blog.nitdroid.com/NITDroid-N9...ETA-GAPPs.tbz2

ADB: http://guug.org/nit/nitdroid/adb.bz2

instructions for install:

WIPE YOUR SD CARD!!!!!
make sure your ext3 partition is under 2gb in size.
extract the above linked archive to the card as per tutorials
Code:
tar xjvvpf NITDroid-N900-0.0.3-BETA-GAPPs.tbz2
make sure you have your usb cable handy as its required

next download ADB (link above is for the linux version of the app.)
and extract it (bunzip2 adb.bz2)

now connect the usb cable to pc and n900 and boot up n900 (it'll likely boot itself) select android in bootmenu and once you get to the android text you should be able to bring up usb networking like below:
Code:
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1 up
then run the following command

Code:
ADBHOST=192.168.2.15 ./adb shell
followed by the following in the new shell
Code:
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);
.exit
your best off ignoreing any errors appearing on device at the moment as they will be quite a few of them,

once you have ran those commands type sync then once that completes type exit and pull battery on n900.

reconnect battery and boot back into android, you should either get a prompt of what to use to perform a task (choose setup wizard BUT DO NOT cick the always use box)

once setup wizard loads tap the android then skip and skip again (dont setup an account) then next through all the screens until you get desktop.

then you can go setup wifi before heading to accounts and sync screen (this will take a bit to load)

disable auto-sync(unless you like a painfully slow device)

add an account > google> enter details as needed, and wait for device to catch up at end, any errors hit wait. once done you should be able to open market and try downloading, the speed of market is slow (think thats the wifi driver ) but it seems usable.

please test and let me know - i would not recommend people with little skill try this as its long winded and not stable
