ok, got the first app "dpkg -i libpcre3_6.7-1osso1_armel.deb"
installed from root...

now back to downloading and installing the rest...

I have to leave in just a bit so once I get the 4 apps installed, can I start to play with the List All function and maybe use them to find and remove files that I recognize and know I don't need?

If so, what is the syntax used for this? For example, I assume in Localpurge and Docpurge it has to have some direction to know what to "purge" once it finds what it was asked to? Make any sense?

I know you are busy so this is enough for now...again, thanks for thje help and detailed explanation!

Cool. Head back to my prior post and start cleaning via the terminal.

For docpurge && localepurge, that's entered once you're in as root.

The rest, I hope I was clear enough with the commands. If not, post your questions here.

It shouldn't get rid of en_GB, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
Yea, well... just as well for me then that it did ignore en_GB!!!!

Ta for the heads up!!

Might install Pidgin instead of RTComm Beta (problems with Yahoo are not easy to walk around and the purple lib update is somewhat bigger than Pidgin in total)...

Just tinkering. And curious...
I just reflashed...and without doing anything apart from checking memory I have 125.7MB free (123.8MB is in use). It will be very interesting to see what I can get to using some of your steps and installing the cough-66-cough apps that I need.

Also reformatted mmc2 and gor 1.87GB available on it now.

A very...weird feeling to have NO folders/files on it...

Updated as I go...:

a) Re-flashed,

b) Reformatted mmc2 through Filemanager.

1) Installed the repo's that I use:

Nokia Catalog
Nokia Catalog (3rd party software)
Nokia System Software Updates
maemo Extras
Browser Extras
Collabora Catalogue
Community SSU (Testing)
Extras-Devel
Fring
Kawseq Conslting
Mikie
Mitrandir's Maemo Repository
Qole
RTComm Beta
maemo Extras (chinook)

..and am at 115.2Mb free - with the repos active but no apps installed yet.

2) Starting to re-install the apps I "need": - in this order:
- rootsh
- emelFM2
- Advanced Backlight
- Advanced Power
- Advanced Powermonitor
- .....

.....

Oh data cleanup gurus...
Is there anything I need in /media/mmc2/map/ if the only map-tool I use is Maemo Mapper? If not, is it safe to get rid of it and all its subfolders?

I hate to answer with hardly no Maemo Mapper experience - used it for a while, decided I didn't like it despite it being not bad at all; however I recall blowing that away without consequence.

Only one way to find out...

Maemo Mapper is the only app I've found that allows me to download VE maps, look up addresses, multiple zooms, GPS support etc so that one is a must for me to work

EDIT: Wiped out the /map directory and it does not seem to be relevant to Maemo Mapper at all.

hey gerbick!

how about we take this in a little different direction?

You mentioned deleting themes; minus the new Diablo 5 Theme and one of the stock ones for backup...just in case.

So with that in mind, what would be the procedure?

Also, FYI, I got XMMS installed and it is great so I am well on my way to what I ultimately want in terms of n810 and it's capability
