AFAIK headers are needed only for developers. One time, I uninstalled them and just doing this increased my rootfs by 15 MB (!). Everything works fine without it, obviously.

BTW - do they *need* to reside in rotfs, instead of optfs, if they're installed anyway?

Yes it is really needed only for compilation other modules...
But why you asking next question then?

I guess he is trying to compile or develop something.

directly on phone? Then this developer has already resized optfs (because compiler + debugger + ... are big)... as me :P

Just out of my (puristic) curiosity - if something doesn't have rationale to sit on rootfs, i preffer it residing in optfs. Anyway, I just plan to try developing something on N900, so probably I'm missing something

Yes, -headers package is not for installing into n900. It is only for scratchbox or for unpacking on desktop mashine for develop.

Headers can be installed on device if you're compiling kernel modules on device. Headers do not need to be on rootfs, but they need to be symlinked from rootfs back to where they originally were on rootfs, so that the compiler can find them correctly. (Alternatively you could change the compiler's search paths for libs, but I don't know how to do that.)

I do this with all of the contents of most large packages that I install (and I have my optfs partitioned to 9GB, so there's more room for stuff).

I think this is irrelevant. -headers package is not in user/ section, so it dont have to be in /opt. Original kernel-headers is in sdk repository and extras has not section sdk...

recently installed v48, kernel itself and my mm-100 bluetooth headset works, thanks for your work pali!

I hoped, with v48 I'll be able to boot into meego (sdhc) again, unfortunately I can't. Does that only work with u-boot? Or do I have to install multiboot on meego to? Or is it, that you didn't put a necessary flag somewhere?

I think this should be added to first post


Install in sequence:
1. kernel-power_1:2.6.28-10power48_armel.deb
2. kernel-power-modules_1:2.6.28-10power48_armel.deb
3. kernel-power-flasher_1:2.6.28-10power48_armel.deb
4. kernel-power-settings_0.12_armel.deb
5. reboot
