modules-maemo-2.6.28.NIT.01.tar.gz doesn't exist if you download module.maemo.tar.gz
I don't know if wget supports pipes but if it does you could put these two commands into one.

Is this valid on linux? On OSX (also unix) you can't tar a http-link

No, didn't realize that I needed to have that installed already...will do that now...


Also, there's a Wiki page for the autoinstaller now. I will probably remove the instructions from my post, so look here for further reference http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?t...-Autoinstaller
Yes, I saw the Wiki page, thanks...

(also there's a improved version on its way)
Great!

Meanwhile, after leaving N900 running overnite in order to get the NITDroid file downloaded....

I got the following error messages:

Code:
NITROID

Extracting the NITDroid rootfs (part 1/2)

bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.

Input File = /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid.tbz2
Output File = /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid.tar

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.

You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the 'bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

############################
##     NITDROID INSTALLED!    ##
##     (and should work)              ##
I'm assuming that per the error messages, actually it won't work, right?

Should I just delete and redownload and then reinstall or ?

Thanks!

OK, thanks, figured that would be the case...

Ha....yes, I do live there and have DSL at home...but it wasn't problem I think on my end....

I kept getting timeout messages or something like that...it would start to download file and then nothing would happen for a long time...then it would try again and again and....so, that's why I left N900 running overnight....

Well, then its logical you would end up with a damaged file.

For those who are experiencing low speeds and timeouts, thats why I host a mirror for those files. If you thing I missed a file etc, drop me a PM and I will upload it ASAP.

So, in order to start fresh with autoinstall method, after going through install per post above where I got the 'data integrity error' during the rootfs extraction process and yet process kept going through the rest of the install stages...

I already deleted the tarball file that was downloaded and had problems.

What directory do I delete in order to start over again? ie, where is it located?

Thanks!

Will there ever be a fully working version of Android for N900? I mean a decently usable one, with all the functions that there would be on an Android phone?
