Not exaclty sure what your issue is, sorry?

If you are installing KDE on a 2GB card, and you are using my deb, it needs to be a fresh flash or it wont fit, and installation will fail. Its possible that if only a couple packages were installed the install process may complete, but I have no way of knowing, so I reccomend Fresh Flash clone before running the KDE installer on a 2GB card. Larger cards are not an issue.

Also using the advanced edition allows you to specify SWAP and FAT sizes which may buy you some room on 2GB cards

Thanks. Maybe I'm just confused...My issue was that I cloned freshly flashed OS to 2 GB sd using ONLY install-tools.deb., and ended up with just 120 MB free space left on the card. Since this was less than you said needed to be there to go on to install KDE, I thought something had gone wrong.

Maybe you'll say that there *is* plenty of room on the relevant partition (the one that the OS is on), and that 120 MB is just the size of the other, irrelevant partition that is viewable by my windows machine????

Sorry, I was not understanding your question properly.

There should be an empty 120MB partition that is viewable by windows if plugged in via USB.

That is not what we are talking about


If you open xterm and run

df -h (best viewed in fullscreen, maybe even a smaller zoom)

you will see that "/" should have about 300+GB free

I knew it had to be a confusion on my part. Thanks very much PB. Looking forward to giving KDE a try!

Things seemed to go OK. But I seem to have lost the rotation support I implemented in diablo yesterday. (Haven't check to see if this is still there when booting from flash.)

Here's what comes up when I run df -h while booting from sd (sorry if formatting is lost):

Code:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/mmcblk1p2 4.0M 2.2M 1.8M 54% /mnt/initfs

none 512.0k 76.0k 436.0k 15% /mnt/initfs/tmp

/dev/mmcblk0p2 1.6G 275.8M 1.3G 17% /

none 512.0k 76.0k 436.0k 15% /tmp

none 1.0M 60.0k 964.0k 6% /dev

tmpfs 1.0M 0 1.0M 0% /dev/shm

/dev/mmcblk1p1 120.9M 0 120.9M 0% /media/mmc1
Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but is it saying that there is 1.3G remaining in partition that's mounted on "/". Is this the partition that was supposed to have 300+ remaining? (Note: I cloned using an almost freshly flashed device, but not totally fresh.)

It will have 300MB free AFTER KDE is installed :)


Diablo does not come with rotation support??

Right. But I had already implemented rotation in diablo prior to cloning OS...

It should work then, although I have not tested it on diablo. Does the sliderotate deb showup as installed in the application manager?

Damn, install-tools deb seems to have borked the rotation I had set up. Obviously not your fault. I'm just not looking forward to reflashing and setting up rotation again--especially since I forgot to backup diablo as it was before I tried to clone.

Oh, and sliderotate didn't show up as installed in app manager.
