i want to see wich apps are swallowing up the space and just delete those.
anyone know how?

if you have multiple repos up - for example extras, testing and devel - you could always disable two of these and only refresh one.
so: disable testing and devel -> update extras... then disable extras and devel -> update devel... and so on...
maybe only disabling testing or devel (one of these) would help because they are very large...

just optified python and disabled extra devel and extras testing. its not helping. still low on memory. Isn't there a more easy way to see wich apps are installed on root. or to see the map structure of root somewhere?
with that explaination i need to manually open an app and then hit the code to see if its optified. i have like 75 apps on this thing!
Why wasn't this build in the hildon application manager? Why cant you just hit a button wich shows you the path where it is installed?
Cant someone make a plugin to do this. And why not make something in the repositories wich will warn that is or isn't optified. in the info tab before installing.
Now i need to reflash my device and install all apps manually.
I also asked myself, every app even optified ones use an amount of space on the root. so in theory the memory will be full no matter how hard you try to optify. why is this system so criple?

- the space never seems to show up until then

have you already moved app managers cache?

ossipena, its hardly useless. Programmers will NOT be optifying their software Im sure because Im am programmer myself, we are lazy .
Our only chance if somebody smart create script like consoletools on N8x0 for dualbooting from SD card.

My Rootfs is 97% full. when trying to update the repositories i get the message that the extra devel cant be refreshed because the lack of memory on root.
Is there a way to see wich apps are installed on the root. i tried it in easy debian with root on the pcmanfm but i cant find the apps in the root directory.
I dont want te reflash. i want to see wich apps are swallowing up the space and just delete those.
anyone know how?
