I found out when running df -h on my n810 that the internal flas memory grew from 160M to 222M by installing just a 1 M app.

Running
[code]
du | sort -n > /media/mmc1/x
[code]
(sorted by size) and inspecting [x] turned out that this folder/var/lib/apt/lists contains tens of megs with crap(?).

Code:
pocketpenguin:/home/user/MyDocs# ls -al /var/lib/apt/lists/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 May  9 21:38 .

That directory contains all the repository package information - it'll grow as the number of packages in the repository grows. If you want to free up the space there, disable some catalogues.

But 20MB in one day without installing any new apps is a bit excessive ...
I worked around by moving the folder contents to a folder on the freshly ext3 formatted mmc2 and symlinking to it. That works fine.
