Apparently I'm such a noob that I found out I had already semi-rooted my phone by adding the 2.2 ROM. A kind gent on these forums pointed that out and then told me to install the update.zip toward the bottom of
Download: Android 2.2 for Motorola Droid | Droid Life: A Motorola Droid Blog
Did that, and it worked. Rooted with 2 files...that I was being a baby about. Seems like that was way easier than what I've read.
Just added the 1.1 kernel and now going to try my first theme.
What a noob I am :P
Thanks for the suggestions
