I know about symlinks :p
And yes as Kenneth pointed out it will bork on the next update.
Making a symlink is just a workaround of the real problem.
Ie not being able to choose flashing target (which would be nice) or
defaulting on internal memorycard on N810.

My Windowz phone lefts me choose to install on my SD card, maybe Nokia will
make this an option, or the package developers, since it could be controlled
my the .deb package. However, once you remove the SD card, then your going
to break your $PATH and what not when trying to run an app that lives
The N810 have a internal memorycard that is non removable (as far as i
know) so on that platform the $PATH bork wouldnt happen (hopefully ;)
But as you said it shouldnt be that much of a problem to make it work.

Chris,
I was speaking about the removable SD on the n810, the internal one is full
of Maps and what not for the GPS. Since I never use the GPS; seems like
everything else I own has one built-in, I guess I could delete the maps and
everything else on /media/mmc2.
Thanks,

I have seen that and to be honest i had actually forgot about it.
But that is also a workaround as i see it as the option of installing
to another target should be there by default.
The reason why i havent fiddled with it myself is that im a
proffession borker of tech stuff. ;)

ran in Familiar/GPE based devices months before windowsce version was
