Basically: I run the website! - and yes we have other content editors ready - but not until the CMS and main website is completed.

We haven't 100% decided on what the slimline should contain.

maybe...

An ultra slim version with no gui so people can decide exactly what they want ontop of the base, be it gnome, kde or whatever - that way no wastage.

A version with your gui, but no real apps, just your config tools

A version that's all apped out with useful apps

What is the benefit of being able to resize the partition? Would this allow you to put things on the SD card easily so that main memory isn't used, so that you can install more things?

This would allow you to install the .ipk anywhere? Even to an SD? Does it work everytime? With other ROMs there are some successes and some failures with trying to install things elsewhere.

You can edit /etc/ipkg.conf to add the destdir .
But the destdir must BE ext2/3 , jffs2 or other Linux file system .

the "-d user" is install to /home/user
"-d sd " is install to /mnt/card
.....

you can use "fdisk" to partition SD with 2 partions .
/dev/mmca1 & /dev/mmca2
" mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmca2 " to format it to EXT3.
mount it & add it in ipkg.conf .
"dest sd1 /mnt/card1"<---I mount it to there .

install pkg with: "ipkg -d sd1 install xxxx.ipk "

It works fine in my C1000 .

I am sorry my poor English .

Your english seems pretty good to me :-)

Sorry for yet another follow up question. Why would you partition your SD card? Would that be so half is for apps and half for files? Can't you just format it all as one partition and use directories?

At a guess; half available to install stuff, half to transfer files from Windows?

on filesystems of this size, I can not see any reason to partition.
ya, sure, you want or may need/require a swap partition -- but
other htan that, make one big partition.

making a partition for apps and user/home, etc... is IMnsHO,
just a complete waste of time.

If my MOTO E680 mobile phone & Windows XP support the ext or jffs2 file system .
I will format it to Linux file system.  

E680 only use the 1# partition .
Windows can find out all of partitions with card reader and Read Write the 1# partition .

Well if you don't mind mangled names in Windows, then [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11747]umsdos[/url] is the way to go!
