one of the advantages of booting from mmc states that applications can be installed on the mmc
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowT..._From_MMC_card

after completing the procedure listed in the above link, i installed an application from one of the repos. i was not given the option to choose between installing in the flash or installing on the mmc: the apps was simply installed in the flash.

if i am not mistaken, by extending the root filesystem, does it mean that apps will continue to be installed in the flash TILL it fills up before continuing the installing on the mmc?

btw, upon powering on, which option should be selected from the boot menu:
"MMC card" or "MMC card, partition 2, ext2"?
