I think you should grow up and clean your room!

It irritates me that these decisions have to be made. I'm not running out of rootfs, but other program space forces me to make choices I didn't face with the N810.

in x-term, use:
sudo apt-get install diskusage

There is also http://www.nokian900applications.com...or-nokia-n900/
sudo apt-get install storageusage

Imho looks a bit better than what I see on the diskusage screenshots.

Remember to dismount easydebian before running though or it will show some partitions double.

i had managed to get the space situation both on rootfs and on /home under control somehow, but then i had to reflash and now i can't remember what i did and i'm running out of space again :(

After reflash, check your space after each install or after a few installs. See which package kills your space and skip it or at least ask around for it. Once you have 200 packages in it's hard to determine what's what.

Did you look at storage usage, as suggested? Did you see what packages take the most space and not optified?

Some of them are simply large, like games.

I already moved lots of game data (sounds, levels, textures etc) to MyDocs, it's getting harder and harder to find what else i can move


it takes ages to install stuff, i would rather not reflash unless absolutly necessary

just go follow that wiki link again, and check the storage usage thing for any red (non optified) packages.
