Based on the answers I have previously recieved, it seems that the *official* Android Market *is not* available if I install Android 2.1 port, but it *is* available if I install the Android 2.2 port ......... correct .. ?

And which guide is the most up-to-date (since this thing is evolving so quickly!) .. ?
Correct. The eclair build did not include the Android Market. The latest build of Froyo however does.

well assuming you did install bzip2 (apt-get install bzip2)

try this:
Code:
cd /and
bzip2 -d /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-3-BIG.tbz2
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-3-BIG.tbz2

Not sure but I think you open the N900 keyboard which gives you a boot menu.

OK, I just started following the guide here:

I'm at the 5th step. When I enter the first command, the command goes through (I see about 30 to 40 '#' characters ... But then when I enter the second command mentioned in the 5th step (which is 'mke2fs -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2' without the single quotes), I get the error:

Could not stat /dev/mmcblk1p2 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly ?
Any clues on whats wrong here ?

Note: I entered the number 1 in step 3, since my microSD card is a 2GB one, which shows a capacity of 1.84GB in the N900

EDIT: here is the exact output from my N900 after running steps 4 and 5:

Code:
/home/user # umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
/home/user # mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkdosfs 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008)
37
#####################################/home/user # mke2fs -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2
mke2fs 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
Could not stat /dev/mmcblk1p2 --- No such file or directory

/home/user # mke2fs -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2
mke2fs 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)

Check you haven't got square brackets around your card size like the following. If so try removing them.

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<6100>,C
