Samac - I've noticed that other ROM's have more space available and don't fill up as fast as the 3.5.2 ROM with a 64/0.  I've been messing around with the 3.52 and see the same problem that you have.  I wonder if movin /opt to the sd card will help or cause problems.

I move /root to SD and started removing packages that I would never need from the base install.

At one point I broke multikey, but I reinstalled it to SD and all was good again.

Current free space on /dev/root 2556kb, much better, but it could be better still if some of the Z gurus would suggest the safest packages to move or the best way to move directories such as /opt.

You're right.  Knowing what to move is a shot in the dark if you don't have the indepth knowledge the OZ-Guru's have.  I had to go back to thekompany ROM last night so I could recover some stuff I'd doumented in tkcmemo (which won't run on 3.5.2, even with oz-compt) and then reflashed with 3.5.2  and am slowing removing apps I don't need and watching the free space on /.  It's not growing very fast.  Even moving /home to the sd card and sym-linking to it does not help much.  Do you know if you use a 32/32 or another ROM besides than 60/0 if there is a difference?

I have tried 48/16 and 64/0 there is no difference to the speed that it fills up, but this thread has convinced me that that the 64/0 is better as anything installed on ram will be lost if you have to do a full reset.

As much as I hate to resurrect an old thread, this is the exact problem I am having.  With a fresh install of 3.5.3, root doesn't have enough space to even upgrade the packages from the upgrade feed, which means libqte and libqpe errors all over the place.  This before even inserting an SD or CF card so it can't be symlinks filling up the / filesystem.  Has anyone else been able to run ipkg upgrade immediatly after flashing their Z???

That's just a problem with not having much flashROM.

You could always ssh in, run 'opie stop', ipkg remove the packages which need upgrading, then ipkg install the new ones?
