More precisely - where : on internal flash, SD card or CF card ? If you installed it on internal flash I would like to know which image you used (could you give exact link ? ) I would _really_ like to know that. > to the internet, so did the "ipkg update" and "ipkg upgrade", both of > which completed successfully.

I am not sure but gnome sounds like a large number of apps to be installed - most of them not really in the "embedded" size. > I've tried removing a few uneeded packages, like the hermes and > orinoco modules but that hasn't really emptied much.

I am not sure if it also affects angstrom but on openwrt (embedded distro for wireless routers) once the device ran out of space there was no other rescue than new install. That was because some bug in ipkg.... > Otherwise, what to do for more room? I know ipkg-link is not used > here. Can I move some files to a SD card and link to them?

Judging from your posts on h2200-port and familiar you installed angstrom on internal flash (I guess). Do you know that you can install it on preformed (ext2) SD/CF card (it would take a while to chock up ie 2 GB card...). Also you don't need to install LAB for that - there's Haret, that can boot linux form WinCE. Marcus Brutus would probably point you to RamdiscRescue as an easiest installation method - have a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ramdisk-rescue. If you have a problem with getting rid of LAB have a look at: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.h2200/3178/focus=3180 As it goes for symbolic links - are you trying to apply links to file system that supports linking (FAT variations do not have that feature....). > > -- > Harmon Seaver > > I hope I cleared the situation a bit. Please do not forget to answer my question regarding type of installation ....
