OVI games are harmless to the update. And even with 40 MBfree on rootfs, you can update OTA.
If not, then it's not due to space on rootfs.

That probably depends what packages you already have installed. Some people have reported needing 60M for the update to proceed.

Its because you have an app installed which conflicts with the update.

I removed ioquake3 and it worked for me. So remove that if you have it installed (or openarena)

i cant seem to get my phone to upgrade. Ive tried to do it OTA but it tells me that i need to connect my phone to the computer.
But when i try to use NSU it does not find any new firmware updates.
Ive also tried flashing my phone. It connects to the computer fine in flash mode (usb sign in corner) however when flashing, it says suitable device not found, waiting.

Ive tried to clear as much rootfs space as possible by removing the extra-devel categories and any apps that i had downloaded.
I managed to upgrade to the earlier firmware release this week, but that was only after i had freed up some rootfs space. It now is
60.6mb availabe so it is in 73% use. The only apps that i have are Angry birds and sound recorder.

Thanks

I updated my N900 using the NSU but it didn't remove anything at all.. Only some background pictures and my applications where gone.. So.. I used flasher-3.5 and.. poof

Well.. If you decide to do something (reflashing for example) do it for good :P

Oh btw, OTA update didn't work for me either

Did you read the Wiki article about flashing the N900? http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware (currently down for maintenance) there it says "N900 users press u button and plug the usb cable. Release button when flashing process begins"

This worked for me.

I went to do the update via OTA, but it was only bringing up the update for previous 1? 44
Do i need to install this update before i can install the major 1? I have dwnloaded the latest firmware file and im thinking of flashing it via flasher but my question is this do i need to do that lil update before or does the new 1 have it integrated within it?
