I can appreciate that there are many opinions on how and why people want to use their machines, but along the original lines of this thread, has anybody really documented a worthwhile solution (particularly for a Linux newcomer like myself - though I'm technically competent in the Windows environment) on how to install apps to mmc? The wiki seems to point back to this thread and I can't see the woods from the trees here. I'm not particularly concerned with hot swapability, and x-windowing is fine if my machine would hold a connection for more than a few minutes and I had a permanent connection to a wireless network (which I don't.) I don't mind switching the machine off before removing the mmc because this will happen rarely for me. I want to maximise the available memory and will look into partitioning and swap files as well. As far as I'm concerned the mmc is there and I want to use it to the best of its ability in order to spare the small amount of on-board memory on offer. If I have to backup an image of my mmc manually then so-be-it.

From what I can gather, by the time you consider all of the potential apps that will be available from maemo over the medium term, 64 megs seems an awfully puny amount. I bought a Sony Clie about 3 or 4 years ago and it had the abilty to run apps from the memory stick then. It surprises me that this functionality is not available out of the box now.

Has anybody found a good solution that they can add to the wiki in a clear a-b-c kind of style? Or point me to some place where this has been well documented already.

Many thanks.
