Re: Need help to clarify issues of OS CLONING and Easy Debian installation
 

Want to point out you can only have 4 primary partitions.. if the clone auto-makes 3, you can only add 1 more.. unless make extended partitions.

The second part about remounting the app cache doesn't actually increase your ability to store apps very much.. it simply allows you to use a separate partition or media card to store the CACHED deb files from apt. Depending on what you're installing.. those files can take up a lot of space.. but those files are also compressed. If you don't have the space to download 300MB of cached deb files, you certainly won't have the space to install them if they are downloaded to an alternate location - because it'll be more than 300MB of space.

OTOH.. if you have enough space to install what you installing, but not download AND install it.. (IE: You need 400MB to install package X,, package X is 100MB in size, you only have 450MB available).. then using your two commands will help.. because it'll download the deb (100mb) somewhere else.. and then install the 400MB to your root.. leaving you with 50MB left.
