my procedure is tar the opt first, then untar it in the sd, then rm the opt, and make a symlink there
or you can use cp -d to just copy the opt to the sd, then rm the opt, and make a symlink after all, u need to reboot cd /mnt/card/sdroot tar -cvf root.tar /opt tar -zvf root.tar rm -rf /opt ln -s /mnt/card/sdroot/opt /opt QUOTE(gab74 @ Apr 8 2005, 06:52 PM) Please guylhem can you tell me the right procedure for moving /opt/ to SD ?

Hi,
I have been trying to move /opt to SD card; but when I follow eddiectc procedure, I get an error in the command "rm -rf /opt" - read only file system. Any help will be appreciated. Alejandro |

Any help will be appreciated. On a 6000 with the stock rom anyway /opt is ro, but I believe if you move /home/QtPalmtop somewhere else and make the symlink from there you achieve the same effect.
