Root cannot install droid2bootstrap.apk from sd card

i've done everything properly and am now rooted. it's my first root and i kind of understand how this process works. i'm stuck though at the part where i have to install droid2bootstrap from my sd card. i put the file onto my sd card and on the tutorial it just says install. i figured you're supposed to reboot your phone in recovery mode and scroll through the sd card files to choose bootstrap 2? is that correct? because i cannot for the life of me see my droid2bootstrap.apk file even though its in my sd card's main page. i know i can just download the app on the market, but i want to figure this out...

i tried searching for some help through this forum but couldn't find a specific answer to my problem. someone please help me. tia

Edit: nm...i got it, first day using the droid x -_-
i feel like an idiot
 
Glad you figured it out. :D

Apk's are installed after booting, usually only zips are installed from recovery.
