Re: somebody plzzz helpppp!! nokia n900 went from 25gb memory to 455.6mb
 

so, you installed easy debian to which partitions?

Re: somebody plzzz helpppp!! nokia n900 went from 25gb memory to 455.6mb
 

nokia n900 partition...the main one.........sorry im a noob

Re: somebody plzzz helpppp!! nokia n900 went from 25gb memory to 455.6mb
 

and what easy debian did you install? something from app manager?

but if you repartitioned the n900 internal memory, the reduced space is perfectly normal behaviour.

no i installed "Easy Debian V0.9.46-1fremantle1" from the popular downloads section of this site....there were several files i got when iinstalled it and one of them was an image file or something like it and required me to download a 2gb file which i installed to "mydocs" in the n900...however i only saw the change from 25.5gb to 455.5mb like around 8 hours after i installed the image because during that 8hrs the phone was working perfectly

then you probably have chrooted to the debian side. should be fixed only by switching device off and on again.

i switched the device on and off and it didnt work and i even reflashed it with nsu and nothing happened :s

Re: somebody plzzz helpppp!! nokia n900 went from 25gb memory to 455.6mb
 

I think you should contact the author of the package. He should know better how to chroot back.

Please open the X-Terminal and look for the offending space wasters. First go to your directory Let the output go to some file to analyse the output.

Re: somebody plzzz helpppp!! nokia n900 went from 25gb memory to 455.6mb
 

when i typed the codes in it said " -sh: sort-r-n: not found" ....

Re: somebody plzzz helpppp!! nokia n900 went from 25gb memory to 455.6mb
 

It is the empty spaces inbetween are important as the are options for sort indicated by the minus .

I must admit, this linux is confusing and frustrating in the beginning.

Try to copy and paste the command like explained here http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=31

The command is a combination of three command, there is no small 'L' in it, but a pipe'|’ ,which i only find on the extra tab of the onscreen keyboard not on the hardware keyboard.
