I've had a 750 since shortly after they were introduced. I spent many many many hours working on it trying to get all the things I wanted working correctly, but there was always something wrong. Too much buggy software and conflicts I guess. All my time was spent trying to make it useful, rather than actually using it, so I finally gave up and it has just been used for games for almost 2 years. Well, I've finally decided to try again, and pdaXrom seems closest to the functionality I'd like to achieve. I have a few questions though before I go too far.
I've seen some comments about the best version for the 750 is still beta 1. Is this true?
I have installed beta 1 to get started and had some problems. The instructions I've read say to use a 30 MB root partition, but the install fails. After reading other comments, I increased this, I think to 45, and then it worked. What is the correct value to use, and what are the consequences of using a larger size?
Related to this, is the root partition only installer by Ashley still a good thing to do? And is there any updated information?
Another question on disk devices, I see that I have /dev/mtdblock/3 mounted twice, as /home and as /mnt/user. I read that this is something for ipkg installation where /mnt/user is bound to /home/user, but df shows that 1500 blocks are used in the partition, while du for /home only shows 73 blocks used. What are the other 1400+ blocks?
