Did you go straight through step 4 in the same xterm?

The error is only for the multiboot so it might be fixable! and might be fixed by step 5.

Do the first command in step 5 and see if you get a blank file in leafpad. If it is blank then that means more fixing is required!

Didi you have a look at any youtube videos? This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q1bi...eature=related covers install of 0.0.9. You should get similar output from each command i.e. some produce big long lists other produce no output at all.

Well yes typing the whole file in should work if its just the file contents thats missing

THis is what my file has in it

Code:

ITEM_NAME="NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

Yes its quite a big IF!
