Just to get one thing straight - are you sure the 2gigs for apps and /home are
not enough? Or, did you just run out of rootfs space (i.e. Didn't placd your
app under /opt ("optify" it), and hence think you need to repartition your mmc)?

Repartitioning my N900
Hi guys. I want to repartition my flash. I want to have more space for apps and more space to develop on. For starters I want to try the swap solutuion. I guess it is a good first step for me. I have 3 questions: 1- I want to have also more space for apps, this solution won't help me there, right? 2-I have an N900 with PR 1.3 so are the NUMBERS bellow in the "table" file correct for me? (I'm not sure if those numbers are for the N900 or another device running maemo) 3-I've read in the tutorial about other solutions for repartitionning more oriented to having different Operating Systems like ubuntu. I have an SD card, could I install Ubuntu there as I did with the NitDroid project or would I need to repartition the internal flash?
