Will try to do Nitdroid soon, but won't be doing Meego. Will update this thread with the steps I take, once I've done it.

I was searching for this information a long time.

Do you eventually know how to get nitdroid and meego as 3rd and 4th boot options? That would be perfect for me to mess around with both at work, ehm I meant in my spare time.

Greetz,

[EDIT: Done: Nitdroid installed! And that was fast and painless...
  • Used a Transcend Class 6 4GB microSD card
  • Did not use the normal apt-get install nitdroid-installer route..(as I had issues with partitioning of SD card before)
  • Instead followed instruction from http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=316.90
  • Downloaded nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb (from http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...8&d=1289926862) onto N900's MyDocs folder
  • In xterm, just typed: root
  • Followed by cd /hone/user/MyDocs
  • Then dpkg -i nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb
  • Finally nitdroid, and reboot
No need to manually partition SD card or reinstall multiboot. On reboot, N900 went straight into multiboot menu that shows all 3 options for omap-1, v45 and Nitdroid.

I've got working WiFi and Market, so it looks good.

This is addictive...I just might try my luck with installing Meego...if I can read up a bit more about other's experience with u-boot....]
