Hello Robert, thanks for your advice. I deleted the man pages and some other stuff. It helped. Now I have about 15 % available. Great. I noticed, that most of the non-critical packages (from: Reduce Debian) were already missing.
But bare with me, I'm not a Linux Guru like you. I reformatted the sd card using a script that I found: mkcard.sh found in an Angstrom discussion. It created: Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 * 0+ 8 9- 72261 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/mmcblk0p2 9 965 957 7687102+ 83 Linux And I found the mmcblk0p2 partition named rootfs with a Lost and found directory. My uEnv.txt (found in an Angstrom-discussion) looks like: bootpart=1:2 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 I didn't find the vriable " uenvcmd". Perhaps there is something missing in the uEnv.txt. The I create on rootfs a directory and an fstab file? And write ? And should I create the home etc. directories in that partition? Sorry for bothering you again. Next time we meet , the bottle of wine is on me.
