Yes - but you're better putting the images under /home/user/.local instead, then they'll override the system images but won't get overwritten by updates. So the status area images go into /home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon and the larger images go into /home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon, and similarly for any other images (just replace /usr/share in the normal instructions with /home/user/.local/share). You'll probably need to create the directories first though:
Code:
mkdir -p /home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
mkdir -p /home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon
Oh, and you do all this as the normal user - no need to be root.

I had 40mb rootfs space and it wouldn't install for me either. Its currently doing it from terminal now with the "apt-get upgrade" command, so fingers crossed it works!

If anyone needs to free up rootfs space, check and see if you are trialling the poker game called "pokerth" - it was taking up 13.5Mb of rootfs space for me, nearly as much as extras-devel!!
Phone seems much more responsive with rootfs back to over 40Mb (from 11Mb yesterday!)

Well it worked, and I am updated. It went from 40mb rootfs (pre update) too 18.8mb (after update)

Is this normal? Seems the update has eaten 20mb of rootfs

EDIT:

DiskUsage seems to be slow at updating. It seems to have settled on 34.5MB now.

You can never trust before and after value of rootfs until you reboot and run apt-get clean.
