If you have internal mmc you can install data directly there.

for some reason the game wouldn't allow me to put it on the device or the mmc when i was booting from a SD card. so what i did is install it on the flash and do a simple back up of my applications, restart the device into the SD card and do a back up restore on the SD card after the boot menu. game works fine. don't know what to call what i did but seems like an easy back door for those who have the same issue.

If you are booting from SD you have effectively replaced internal flash with SD card. Answering cancel to question dialog will then install game, as any application, to your sd card.

i thought so too, but what it would do is take away from the mmc memory while downloading, then when the install process started both directions flash and mmc would say their wasn't enough memory, i watched it take almost 150 mb from my external card when i put it on the flash when i wasn't booted from the SD card, when i did boot from the SD card it went from 120 mb to 50 mb before any install choices came up. the only way i could sneak around that was just that restore.

it automatically downloads the 60mb in internal mmc, then the 90 goes to wherever selected.

worked fine for me when i installed while booting from mmc :)

haven't had a chance to test lan play

I dont have the internal mmc2, but have a mmc1 (external one).
How can I install this game?

Easiest option is of course to install to device flash memory...

Second easiest is to get internal sd-card. They're cheap.

Third option is to move external mmc to internal slot and install the game. Then move card back to external slot and type in xterm (probably as root)
Code:

rm /usr/share/games/boswars
ln -s /media/mmc1/share/boswars /usr/share/games/boswars

There are other ways but I think these are the safest.

I can't get this to install.
It keeps coming up with 'insufficient memory' on internal mmc, even though there is .5 GB free.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Can I install the game to internal flash,
then move it to mmc1 (with cp,mv) in order to free the internal flash?
