I did this as an experiment. I just want to make a statement.

The rootfs problem was a big Nokia blunder. It means that, unlike with my N810 and N800, I can't install and run the programs that are available that I want to run. Furthermore, I constantly have to watch how much rootfs I have left in a way that I haven't experienced since the DOS days when I was running out of disk space on my 10 meg hard drive.



I have not installed one single game. I think the last program I installed was VIM, because I like it and because I want to play around with a version better than the one that comes with the system by default.

My N900 is running great. I haven't installed all the programs I want to install. The rootfs problem won't let me. I resent it. Probably I will uninstall VIM in about five minutes, against my will. That is something I never had to do on my N800 or N810.

I know you don't like complaints.This is a complaint. I'm not asking for help. I just don't like this aspect of the N900.
I got some real bad news for ya, uninstalling VIM ain't gonna help ya much!
