Re: RootFS again.. I don't understand!
 
I wonder if some flash/ ssd hardware manufacturer in China will come up with an installable 500mb chip to put the Maemo5 rootfs on, now that the N900 has been released in Hong Kong. They must be having at least some of these problems even with PR 1.2?

It was a good practice when programmer always tried to make their programs efficient in both space and time.
However, after the price down of storage, we are too lazy to make our programs more efficient.
I think it is a good time for developers to recall those hard time when only xxKb is available for programs.

Not quite that easy. The NAND chip in question is in a special type of package that is soldered directly to the processor, likely in the same chip package as the SDRAM. It was manufactured by Samsung, and cannot be easily replaced by the end user without a lot of very, very special equipment.

They did, and as a result the programs were far less complex and capable as software is today. Not everything today is pure bloat.

Is there any possible way (maybe a script of some kind?) to block any programs installing to the RootFS and prevent this problem?

No, developers are supposed to be proactive when working on N900-targeted software and properly "optify" their packages before making them available.

If one isn't, you should file a bug report or contact the developer.
