free and meminfo measure RAM usage. Try df or the memory control panel to
measure flash usage.
Of course. But the memory control panel is the easiest to use, and it reports the same thing. Installing programs - like bash, for example - to /var/lib/install causes memory usage to increase. I can see some use occuring, but I guess I need to run more tests.
Is there a compelling reason to reformat the card? I haven't yet, but am
planning to try mounting the MMC without NOEXEC and just symlinking
/var/lib/install to a directory on the VFAT partition. Am I doomed to
failure?
Well, it's my understanding that VFAT is a problem - it doesn't support long file names and I think there are other issues (I hope someone else who knows this better chimes in).

PS It might be polite to move this conversation to the users list at some
point.
Done. I'm not sure on proper netiquette though, so be gentle ;-)
