I checked the rootfs again it still shows same 22MB free space even though I have removed apps and games worth over 80-90MB`

If so, you need to uninstall these packages:

Then you should be able to upgrade

Open these two links on your phone
http://chris.intrepid.cx/N900/debug.sh
http://chris.intrepid.cx/N900/diskspace.sh
Save BOTH files into the Documents folder on your phone..
Open an X terminal and run
sh MyDocs/.documents/debug.sh
Wait for it to finish.. it will take AGES
Then run:
sh MyDocs/.documents/diskspace.sh MyDocs/debug.tgz
This will show you a table..
The first column is the package
The second is how much rootfs space that package is using
The last column is how much emmc space that package is using
The largest rootfs space users appear at the top..
That might give you a clue as to which packages you need to remove..
If you follow the debug link I posted earlier, I can help you more (it involves sending me the debug.tgz file)

Hi cpitchford,
I didn't had to do anything. I just checked the link you have posted from Nokia forums.
So I did the same too and once I disabled these two the rootfs memory shot upto 43mb (or 46mb) and voila I manage to download the firmware direct on N900 itself without having to connect to the PC and it has installed successfully!
