Just look in the first post of this thread. There is a link on how to format the partition yourself.

If you cannot dl the file, the server is having problem, I guess and there is nothing one can do, until the server owner do something about it. That is how I look at it. I just did one for a friend yesterday, and it took less then 2 min to dl the whole thing. So... I will try here to see whether it is a server problem (I am at work and cant try), maybe I can send you my copy, if I can find it laying around some place.

Partition on N900, sometimes is unreliable. It is NOT the installer's fault. You may have to manually partition SD and then continue with the installation. Manual partition is good enough, only steps 1-3, formatting is done correctly by installer after partition is good, see thread #419 for details.

Well, I already have it downloaded on my pc, but with the auto installer, it's right now around 2 and a half hours donwloading, and it's stuck in this...
If there is a way to do it manually, I would apreciate a LOT if you could point me the way...

Edit.: I know about the install page on wiki, but I do have to change some names right? What would them be?

Ok, I got it to work.
For the ones who want to do it manually, and don't have any previous nitdroid on the phone, here is how I did.:

I followed the steps to partioning and formating.:

1. Open up the xTerm and become root with this command:

sudo gainroot

2. First un mount the microsd card

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

3. For this step you need to know the capacity of your memory card. The Android partition can only be 2GB, so you need to create a FAT partition that is so large there will only be 2GB left. The number must be in MB, example some recommended sizes are 1, 100, 2100, 6100, 14100, 30100. If its 8GB you can choose a number like 6100MB, if its 4GB you can choose a number like 2100MB. If your memory card is 2GB or below, you can choose 1MB as a number If you do not do this correctly you will not be able to use Android Market!

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF

4. Unmount microsd again as maemo sometimes tried to mount

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

5. The actual formating!

mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mke2fs -L NITDroid -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2

Then, I downloaded both /NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2, and nitdroid/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.ded via pc, and put them under MyDocs.

Then.:
mkdir -p /and
mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /home/user/MyDocs
rm -rf /and/*
bzcat NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2 | tar xvC /and

Then.:

As I was already in MyDocs, dpkg -i nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb.

This set up the multiboot. I just rebooted and now, I am good=)
Trying to install some apps now, and I hope people having trouble now will make it work!

Congratulation, ..........it is a boy! and it is 6 lb!

Just kidding.

You have installed successfully on your nitdroid, and you are now in the nitdroid initial setup wizard. Depends on your installation, initial run could be very very very very slow and that is normal, as if it is NOT doing a thing. Despite what the screen said, run your nitdroid portrait for the time being, you will encounter ONLY 3 options on the initial setup-screen upon sign into your google account:

1) create
2) sign in
3) skip

option is hidden if you run landscape. Hit option 3) skip, go setup your wifi, then log into your google account, reboot. Now this time it is alot faster, right?

Welcome onboard, my friend :-)
