We need 45mb free for the next update though.

Re: Root space
 
i got 16.3M and not worrying
yet..

because this is stil testing - imo still beta firmware (upgraded to 1.0.1)
so when the big one comes it will land on clean device - will make sure of that - most likely through NSU but tempted to do it linux way ;) (livecd and so on)

There is no easy way to get more space after doing app managers uninstall/disable on extras & devel and reboots.

10mb will not be enpugh to except a big firmware update. ppl needed over 20mb free to get yesterdays update and that was quite small

what the hell. why cant the rootfs be larger. i dont mind if it was 500mb. how many people here have 45mb+ avaliable???????? what do we do now???????? i have 23.4mb available. how do we see whats taking all the room. and how do we clean it noob style???????????? once we find the apps taking all the space we will know which apps need optimization.

Re: Root space
 
Unfortunately what's taking up all the space are libraries and built-in apps. The top rootfs space users on my N900 are:
Code:

posix-locales
microb-engine
libqt4-gui
python2.5
libc6
hildon-theme-alpha
nokia-maps-ui
adobe-flashplayer
hildon-theme-beta

The first -devel app is quite a way down the list - mc (and most of that looks to be locale files, which I'm not sure can be optified).

Re: Root space
 
It can't be bigger because it's part of the OMAP3430 package, and 256M was the largest size available there.
