I am running out of space for Applications and Games... I just had to uninstall Wargus II, is there anyway to redirect the files that PrBoom, Quake 2, Duke Nukem 3D use? OpenArena is taking up 300MB alone... I need help...

I've just re-flashed my device using a modified eMMC image. I now have 8GB /home (/opt) partition (the extra space on /home are taken from the MyDocs partition).
Create a backup, move it off Your device and re-flash using a modified eMMC image.
!! You have to flash using both images - combined and eMMC !!
I can't distribute the image, but You can edit it Yourself using a Hex editor. More info here.
This is how it looks in "Hex Editor" (on Ubuntu):
Change from 2048 to anything up to 9999.

Code:
N900:~# df -h /home Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk0p2 7,9G 2,2G 5,3G 30% /home
Change from 2048 to anything up to 9999.

Thank you - is there anyway to do this without wiping out the device?

I haven't tried myself, but I believe it should be possible to move certain directories from /home or /opt into /home/user/MyDocs and make symlinks pointing to the latter, as long as those directories don't contain executables or other symlinks, which the FAT of MyDocs would not support.

8GB in /home should be fine for now...

Have You? EDIT -> I actually thought about increasing it to 1024MB just because it's a nicer number... (4x256)

(When swap starts to get full.. like more then 50% then device runs abit slower) so I wanted to give it more head room so hopefully it wont pass 30% I pushed it a little beyond that... We'll see how it behave when I redo all my tweeks.thanks again
