Applications which I intend to use in the near future I keep "resident" (Sugar Activities in /home/olpc/Activities, Linux applications on my "permanent" SD card). Those I access rarely I keep on a removable storage device.
Just now was using Journal to access Activity bundles kept on a removable storage device. All I wanted to do was to run them once -- but Journal *installed* (in /home/olpc/Activities) each one that I clicked on. I had not expected that. The XO-1 does not have a lot of nand "storage". What interests me is how best to "off-load" data *and programs* from nand. I had been told that it was possible to run Activities from a removable storage device -- but I now see that in the actual implementation it *still* requires nand to run an "off-loaded" Activity -- in other words, the removable storage device is just an "adjunct", not a "repository". There really ought to be a better way to "deposit" Activities which are not being accessed each week. Sooner rather than later, there simply will not be room in /home/olpc/Activities. mikus _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
