leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1 then at your touchscreen press tab button on the bottom of xterm. Now where did I actually wrote that you will have to replace etc?

Nowhere, i just thought the etc was to replace something 
sorry
Now, it opened, i dont have a memory card, so am i supposed to replace ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2 for ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 in the line where it says ITEM_DEVICE?
I ask this cause in the tutorial doesnt say to replace, just says to look so it should appear ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 but it appears ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2 instead.
Thanks
EDIT: ok, i did replace but i cant save, it says that it wasnt possible to open archives for writing whenever i try to save.
This was a translation from portuguese to english so it might not be exactly as it would say in an english n900

Okay so I have been looking for some updates for Nitdroid and I found the following files here. http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/
gingerbread_update1.tar.bz2
And
gingerbread_update2.tar.bz2
As well as some other files such as gingerbread_superuser.tar.bz2
And also camera.tar.gz.
How do I install these updates, I mean I know I need to extract but to where?
I am guessing the same place where I installed Nitdroid but will, I have to mount /home /and again and cd into the directory, thanks

I was right you do have to mount /home /and.
Anyway just to reiterate if anyone is wondering how to install an update or modification to the Android core.
Make sure the packages are in MyDocs and do the following
-optionalTo save times whilst I am still in root, I type reboot and enter to save time
