Not exaclty sure what your issue is, sorry?
Maybe you'll say that there *is* plenty of room on the relevant partition (the one that the OS is on), and that 120 MB is just the size of the other, irrelevant partition that is viewable by my windows machine????

There should be an empty 120MB partition that is viewable by windows if plugged in via USB.
That is not what we are talking about
If you open xterm and run
df -h (best viewed in fullscreen, maybe even a smaller zoom)
you will see that "/" should have about 300+GB free

Things seemed to go OK. But I seem to have lost the rotation support I implemented in diablo yesterday. (Haven't check to see if this is still there when booting from flash.)
Here's what comes up when I run df -h while booting from sd (sorry if formatting is lost):
Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but is it saying that there is 1.3G remaining in partition that's mounted on "/". Is this the partition that was supposed to have 300+ remaining? (Note: I cloned using an almost freshly flashed device, but not totally fresh.)
Here's what comes up when I run df -h while booting from sd (sorry if formatting is lost):
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk1p2 4.0M 2.2M 1.8M 54% /mnt/initfs none 512.0k 76.0k 436.0k 15% /mnt/initfs/tmp /dev/mmcblk0p2 1.6G 275.8M 1.3G 17% / none 512.0k 76.0k 436.0k 15% /tmp none 1.0M 60.0k 964.0k 6% /dev tmpfs 1.0M 0 1.0M 0% /dev/shm /dev/mmcblk1p1 120.9M 0 120.9M 0% /media/mmc1

Diablo does not come with rotation support??

Right. But I had already implemented rotation in diablo prior to cloning OS...
It should work then, although I have not tested it on diablo. Does the sliderotate deb showup as installed in the application manager?

Oh, and sliderotate didn't show up as installed in app manager.
If you are installing KDE on a 2GB card, and you are using my deb, it needs to be a fresh flash or it wont fit, and installation will fail. Its possible that if only a couple packages were installed the install process may complete, but I have no way of knowing, so I reccomend Fresh Flash clone before running the KDE installer on a 2GB card. Larger cards are not an issue.
Also using the advanced edition allows you to specify SWAP and FAT sizes which may buy you some room on 2GB cards
