Few questions

1)If you choose both and install some packages from cydia and some from installer does it mess stuff up

2) Do i need to be on 2.0.1 to do the quickpwn thing and jailbreak it

3) Does installer and cydia have the same apps, which as more if not

cheers

Right now Cydia has MUCH more than installer-although both are a little Sparse-Installer is particularly bad.

I have installed one application from installer and many from Cydia and noticed no ill effects.

As far as quickpwn-can't help you, I am a Mac user-although the pwnage tool on Mac is NOT difficult to use. I probably would not use the quickpwn even if available, as I like having a back-up of the firmware.

No, quickpwn is a jailbreaker that can pwn 2.0.1 devices without a format.

It worked great for me (I haven't updated yet but my friend has a 2.0.1 and I tried it out because he wanted the nes emu =P)
