Multiboot has been successfully installed. I tried to do the NITDroid bit but it basically says, I haven't got bzip2 installed - which is correct. I am not able to install it via Xterminal as you know, and am unable to find it in the application manager. Any ideas? Are there any other programs I will need to get this up and running?
Nearly there.. hopefully. This isn't as easy as I thought.
Code:
root
Code:
apt-get install wget bzip2
That will install the packages: wget and bzip2 and your issue should be fixed!

------------------------------------[HELP]------------------------------------
oh boy...
I had android running. I was multibooting between android and maemo without a problems
I noticed in Android I have a message that sd card is corrupted (top left corner). I clicked on it and it asked me do you want to reformat it. I thought...yea, lets give it a try we will see what hapends.
Nothing happened, I installed few more apps all was good and then when I rebooted to go back to maemo... and I can't!
On multibbot screen I chose maemo, I get output that reflash was sucessfull, it boots up again and I end up in a boot menu again.
The funny thing is that android boots up without a problem. Now I have a message in top left corner that SD card is blank!
Reflash or you gusy have any ideas?
ps. I am really forced to use Android now, am I
oh boy...

thats easy fix, reextract 0.0.6 rootfs to the card and it'll work fine
I'm sure some of you may think, If he doesn't know what he's doing then maybe he shouldn't be doing this - and maybe they're right.
Cheers for everyones help and patience though.

Just repeat step 6. Extract the tar once again.

@browncaravan you need to do this in xterm:
code:
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
rm -rf *
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tar
That should do it for you
I take you already did download the newest rootfs -the flying-world- (0.0.6)...
If not get it here:
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDro...ing-world.tbz2
code:
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
rm -rf *
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tar
That should do it for you

Hi Guys
I had to reflash my device after I 'formated sd card' under android and wipe out my maemo, like I said Lesson learned BUT I was playing a little bit with that phone before I did that and to be honest maybe becasue it was running android for hours (I didn't have time to falsh it) or maybe because sd was 'removed' system was running more smooth and phone wasn't so warm.
Even guitar hero was running better then before. Just wanted to share
TIP: Install Task killer. when system starts to slow down just kill all the tasks and it will work much better
BTW does sd card class impacts the system performance?
