What happens if after typing "root" you type "ls /home/user/MyDocs"? Check that the .deb file is actually there.

you have two commands on one line here, a "cd" and a "bzip2". Only the cd did anything
so do them as two commands
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d nitdroidarchivename.tar.bz2
Its written as two line because you need to type two separate lines

Nokia-N900-42-11:/# mount /home /and
Nokia-N900-42-11:/# cd /and
Nokia-N900-42-11:/and# tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroidarchivename.tar
tar: can't open '/home/user/MyDocs/nitdroidarchivename.tar': No such file or directory
the tar fails because you didnt do the bzip2 in a way that actually did anything.

Oh! and where people have been putting "nitdroidarchivename" you actually need to put the right name. It will be the name of the file you downloaded for the bzip2 and the same name without ".bz2" on the end for the tar command

see at this part

Code:
bzip2 -d nitdroidarchivename.tar.bz2
would it be

Code:
bzip2 -d NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2

That seems reasonable, if a bit old (Think most would install N12_UMay.tar.bz2 as its a much later build)
