Hi,
I installed Angström successfully and then ... ... on my desktop is no application, not even a webbrowser ... ... ok, after some hours I found out that i have to update the package-list in the Package-Tool and then ... ... i can install the gpe-mini-browser and it works ... ... most of the times ... ... but if I want to install any other program ... ... I have no ram left ... => Is that the normal situation .Not the long time for finding out how to install any application, but that there is no place left in memory. Greetings Wolf |

Angstrom-x11-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r14-simpad.rootfs.jffs2
from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/relea.../images/simpad/ After I installed the gpe-minibrowser I had about 2 or 3 MB free space on the root partition. Do I have to by a cf-card to use Angström, or are the 64mb enougth for a Browser, Pim etc (a set of tools like in win-ce) Greetings Wolf |

That seems to be ok. Without anything installed, I have ~5.4 MB free. But I'm now wondering as well, because my used space is shown as 19 MB used. Where the missing 8 MB??? I slowly remember I read someting about another 8 MB partition that is reserved for something but can be modified to be used as part of the root partition. Can you investigate here?

Solve the lost 8 MB problem and you have 10+ MB left for your apps. If you still need more, better go for a cf. -hafu |

hi,
we are planning to release a new bootloader which has only one big partition. until it will be released you can try out this howto [1]. You need to reflash your device for it. A good place to look for angstrom based questions is also the angstrom faq/manual [2] regrads mr nice 1 http://opensimpad.org/index.php/Get_rid_of..._home_partition 2 http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/AngstromManual |

Thanks for the direct link to the home-partition howto. I applied it and now (after a fresh full x11 r15 image) I've 13MB+ free disk! Excellent!
