Suggestion: Advance task manger is pretty good

The autoinstaller automatically formats the card for you. If you are done with nitdroid and want to format it back, stick the card into a pc and format it there... its easier.

uhh pretty sure you don't type "EOF" or the <<
just hit enter after the 1 and enter after each line...

The menu button is mapped to the proximity sensor, so hold your finger over that (just below the front camera) for a second or two.

I have a 4GB SD card (not sandisk).
Solution: Execute the manual installation up to step 4 (even if some step may fail), after step 4, type nitdroid and go through the automatic process, worked for me.

Manual Install Link.

Problem with this is... some of the links shown on the manual install link, no longer exist... any ideas?

Edit: I found the files in the archives folder so can add that... but is there a reason they are archived? Like is there an updated version? The auto installer wont work with mine, it fails at the formatting ext3 stage.
