Now that I have moved these directories, I could install sdk (and every software i want) without worrying about rootfs or any partition. Finally, notice that my solution only requires a N900 and fingers.
Are /usr and /var for this setup really larger than on my phone???
Code:
[root@Nokia-N900 ~]# du -kx /usr | sort -n | tail -n 10
7604    /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10
14164   /usr/share/microb-engine/chrome
14844   /usr/share/microb-engine
15632   /usr/share/locale
23352   /usr/lib/locale
24288   /usr/lib/microb-engine
25620   /usr/bin
67504   /usr/share
185396  /usr/lib
285068  /usr
[root@Nokia-N900 ~]# du -k /var | sort -n | tail -n 10
120     /var/lib/hildon-application-manager
192     /var/lib/gconf/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/applets
212     /var/lib/gconf/apps/osso/hildon-desktop
380     /var/lib/gconf/apps/osso
572     /var/lib/gconf/apps
644     /var/lib/gconf
33808   /var/lib/dpkg/info
41040   /var/lib/dpkg
42064   /var/lib
42260   /var
Did you somehow reverse the optifying to use /usr?
