This will make a cache directory on your MMC card (you can change mmc1 to mmc2 if you want) and then tells Debian to use that to store all of the downloaded packages.

Hi, I read on one site deleting files from the following directories for making more space in the File System. They are:

/usr/share/doc/
/usr/share/info/
/usr/share/zoneinfo/
/usr/share/locale/
/var/cache/apt/*.bin (just the .bin files)

This, in my case, can give me back 80+ MB of space and space has been the major concern for me in Easy Debian Turbo as I'm not an advanced user to start with empty image file. So, I was wondering if I can delete files and folders from the above mentioned directories without affecting the update, upgrade or install in the future or some way I can mount these to MMC like in the case of mounting /var/cache/apt/archives to MMC as you have mentioned as I have 8GB card and I'm only using 1.1GB of it. Also, is there any other unwanted files residing in the file system which I can get rid of to make more space? Thank you.
