First off, I'm not a Linux guy and I'd like to thank all of you real Linux geniuses for the fantastic stuff on this little tablet. I know, I'm a Win guy from way back....before MS-DOS...

I'm stumped about memory management on the N800. I have two Class 6 SDHC 16GB cards and there's 12GB free on the internal card. I have the extended memory set to 128MB, but it doesn't seem to use it.

Is there any way to get Maemo to use the internal card like a hard drive for program storage, library storage, things that don't change much and are just read when booting something? It's always out of the "internal memory", which causes it to crash sometimes. I unload apps to recover it.

It just seems like it should notice there's so little internal memory it's storing apps and libs in and notice my massive internal mmc1 and use it.....but it doesn't. I think it should....

Thanks for any help, but please be gentle as I'm just learning the Linux file structure on it in spite of Nokia trying to hide it from me. I have the Emel file manager installed....

What you want is to clone your OS to the sd card and use that as your filesystem/OS boot instead of the internal flash. There's an easy to use program that does this for you, detailed in this thread:

Hope this helps

Oh and the "Extended Memory" is swap memory, it's used as "Virtual RAM" not as "hard disk" space
