I did this as an experiment. I just want to make a statement.

The rootfs problem was a big Nokia blunder. It means that, unlike with my N810 and N800, I can't install and run the programs that are available that I want to run. Furthermore, I constantly have to watch how much rootfs I have left in a way that I haven't experienced since the DOS days when I was running out of disk space on my 10 meg hard drive.



I have not installed one single game. I think the last program I installed was VIM, because I like it and because I want to play around with a version better than the one that comes with the system by default.

My N900 is running great. I haven't installed all the programs I want to install. The rootfs problem won't let me. I resent it. Probably I will uninstall VIM in about five minutes, against my will. That is something I never had to do on my N800 or N810.

I know you don't like complaints.This is a complaint. I'm not asking for help. I just don't like this aspect of the N900.
I got some real bad news for ya, uninstalling VIM ain't gonna help ya much!

Actually, deleting it and other programs I didn't want to delete helped enough. So thanks for nothing.

No you are wrong, people in this community like complaints but only when they are reasonable

1. Linux is completely different and you can compare it to DOS or Windows , its just doesnt work that way.

2. Have you ever heard of optifying ? Its something like optimizing the program so it doesn't take space in root but instead on 2Gb space allocated for programs

3. I have about 60mb on root and lots of apps, so i dont know how you managed to get 10 mb???

4. Do some more research and you can solve that problem. Disable extra repos it will free up around 20mb for sure

Wow, thanks for the advice! Optifying, what's that? Gee, do you think I'll know as much as you some day?

I'm going to have 1,000 Thanks pretty soon from helping people here -- you'd think I'd have learned something...

I want to move MicroB but i hear some people have messed it up by doing this. The only real question i have is, Is it worth moving it and does it slow down the microb engine at all for moving it? i would hate my awesome web browsing to slow down just because i wanted to save or gain more rootfs space =(.

Please let me know.

The rootfs problem is mostly solved in the firmware release due out sometime, so I wouldn't go to too much trouble. Help is on the way.
