How did you install it ? 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.

Are you sure you need gnome-mplayer ? 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 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....

I am not sure of your install method. 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....).

I hope I cleared the situation a bit. Please do not forget to answer
my question regarding type of installation ....
