Hi Daniel, What I did was make a directory on /mnt/sdcard which neovento has already mounted it is the first partition on the card, named it cache and then set up directories under it to match those in /var/cache then change /var/cache to /var/was-cache (a habit I keep originals) then sit in /var and ln -s /mnt/sdcard/cache I had actually done it before and had a good collection of debs downloaded earlier, and after setting it up like that again i did an apt-get update and then installed a couple of things especially less and apt-utils and man-db, it got the debs out of the cache - very satisfactory. cheers, clare > > Also, does anyone have experience with mhddfs and could comment on if it > would work welll here? > > Thanks, > -Dan Staley > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
