What I did was move the apt and dpkg directories out of the rootfs and everything works nicely.
(I posted about this back on the 19th) First get root access e.g. sudo gainroot or ssh into the device with root access then mkdir /opt/cache mkdir /opt/lib cd /var/cache mv apt /opt/cache ln -s /opt/cache/apt apt cd /var/lib mv apt /opt/lib ln -s /opt/lib/apt apt mv dpkg /opt/lib ln -s /opt/lib/dpkg dpkg This moves the cache and the libraries over to the opt directory, with symbolic links so everything runs as normal When I did this, I moved about 56 meg out of the rootfs.
