I am really looking forward to use Droid on my N900 and today i saw a 4gb class 4 microSD hc hanging around in the store. I thought thats the sign to finally install NITDroid.

Well, what i did so far:

Inserted the microSD and followed this instructions.

It hung up while formating the sd with ext3. So i checked out the "Solution to the installer problem with formatting ext3" found here.

I removed the first autoinstaller and then installed the ext3 fixed one.

Starting it with "nitdroid-installer" again. it started downlading the NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tbz2 file but it never finished and moved on to the next file. I have good wireless connection. Conky showed download of data.

But it didnt start to download the other files. So i restarted the device and tried the whole process again. This time it went through formatting fine. Then it downloaded the other files and installed NITDroid.

I was told to reboot and did so, but no bootmenu showed up. When i power the device it just boots maemo automatically, like if i had never installed nitdroid.

Does anyone have had a similar experience and maybe an idea how to solve it?

Should i format my sd card manually and retry the installation process? How to check in maemo if NITDroid has been installed correctly?

Thanks guys. I really hope i will get NITDroid running!
