Hello, this was one of the problems with BBB. I managed to install Debian with " BBB-eMMc-flasher-debian-7.4-2014-02-16-2gb.img" installed only Xfce (needed an graphical output) and had about 450 MB left. Beside that I had to install a swap file 128 MB I'm down to 211156. That's not a lot. Under Angstrom I managed to use the sd card with the uEnv.txt as additional storage, but I forgot to withdraw the card when finished and waited while booting up until I noticed that the BBB got stuck.
My question to Robert: Is there a clean way under Debian to format or mount the sd card as additional storage or even better: Is it possible to mount e.g. homedirectories to that card, so that we are not stuck to that damned 2 GB. I know, I could use the card to boot from, but ...
