Yes, so in the storage option of the settings menu, I see 488MB of internal 
memory. If I mount the sdcard using  mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda6 /mnt, would 
I have to manually install apps in the sdcard location? cause surely Android 
can’t see it?

Thanks,

Sorry, I forgot that people are trying to use Juno, am I correct? In which 
case, I beleive the Android port is being kept 'close to AOSP' so doesn't have 
any Linaro patches for proper device integration. So you'll have to mount it by 
hand, something like:

  mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda6 /mnt

but then I beleive Android won't actually see this as official 'external 
storage', so that may have an effect on what you can do with it.
