Can it be installed on phone's memory and if so do I need to flash/format?

I have 2gb microsd card, is that enough? And if it is and I can install on it do I still need to flash/lose all my stuff from maemo?
Anyone?
From what I gathered it can be installed on emmc(aka phone memory) but do I need to flash/format it and loose data/settings?

Yes you do have to format the EMMC and reflash the kernel if your installing NITDroid for the first time.

Read the WIKI on the first post.

One quick question I wanted to know is that if there is any significant difference in the gingerbread versions posted by mido.fayad and the one posted by ammyt on page 1?

NO YOU DONT
installing nitdroid wont delete anything on your 32gb (internal memory)
dont answer unless you know it. people like you make people confused so then they ask same question over and over.

2gb is enough although this method is for internal memory so you dont need the card!

also flashing kernel for nitdroid has nothing to do with maemo... stop spreading the wrong words

No, No, No. The EMMC will not get formatted! You see nitdroid installation is summarized below:
You will download a package containing multibbot and prequisites called nitdroid-installer, only, youwill not run it just install it. Then you download nitdroid system files to MyDocs as an archive, then you unarchive them to a folder you will create in /home/user called /and. Then you install the kernel which is required to boot android's system files.
