The command you need is the same one I gave above:
Code:
ln -s /home/var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives
tried that but still getting the not enough room in target location, however at least I can now uninstall apps :)

Just be aware if you make these changes - you will need to do them again after the upgrade - it doesn't honour the symlinks when doing the install - which makes sense I guess.
Good job you pointed that out. Does make sense, but would have been an easy mistake to make.
:s

So how would I change back to the factory settings after following the guide? The same process in reverse?

I only want to free enough root space to update the OS and now I only have about 23 MB free.

After the update you will be back to factory settings. I guess what i was saying is if after the update you want the extra space still - then you need to follow these instructions again.

So I tried

mv /home/var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives


but it gives an error message.

"mv: cannot rename '/home/var/cache/apt/archives': Invalid argument"

I'm looking to undo whatever I did by following the link on the first post http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/noki...ix-inside.html

Even after having done all the things in this thread I still have only 23.4M free ( I checked with df -h ) I thought this process was supposed to free up some space?

I've now got 39.5M and it's still not enough. I already disabled extras-testing.
