Hint : When installing Claws, put the email files on the external memory card. You may have to install Claws again on a reflash, but the files and Claws organization may survive reflashing. At least it seems to have worked that way the last couple times I had to mess with flashing and had to 'restore' from backup.

I use something like the attached scripts from command line on the device: du-fs-contents.sh -- shows sizes of directory contents, dir at the time package-sizes.sh -- list sizes of all packages according to pkg database NOTE: the package (database) "Installed-Size" information isn't trustworthy, the package can take a lot less disk space: * on install certain documentation directories are removed from the packages (with docpurge) and amount of that can be quite large * The file system is also LZO compressed, so files may take significantly less space than they appear. For example: # cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents # lzop osso_software_copyright.pdf # ls -s osso_software_copyright.pdf* 1359 osso_software_copyright.pdf 334 osso_software_copyright.pdf.lzo I.e. the PDF file actually takes only few hundred KB from the file system instead of over MB. Some other files like jpeg, png, mp3, wma etc ones are in an already compressed format. Debian localepurge might also be useful, but I don't know whether it can be easily used on our tablets: http://packages.debian.org/etch/localepurge - Eero du-fs-contents.sh Description: application/shellscript package-sizes.sh Description: application/shellscript ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Insufficient Space to upgrade
I had the same experience - I deleted documentation files and it seemed to provide enough space but when I rebooted I got in an endless reboot loop and had to reflash. Fortunately that fixed some other problems I was having like the RSS feeder not working, still a pain setting up my claws mail accounts again.

I used DisUsage and manually removed some documentation pdf files. And I uninstalled big packages like gnumeric. The first time I tried to upgrade I hade 35M free or something like that and the upgrade proceeded but the installation failed and when I rebooted I got into a reboot loop and I hade to reflash the device. The second time I tried I had 70M free and it worked... -- /Tommy Persson ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Just in case you missed it, move whatever files you may have downloaded or other from /home/user/MyDocs. You can use the built in file manager for this. The subdirectories include images and video as well as documents. Hope this helps.

Re: Insufficient Space to upgrade
emelFM2 is a very handy file manager that should meet your requirements. DiskUsage is a utility that might actually be very helpful in your scenario as well. Unfortunately, you're in a bit of a catch-22 if you've run out of room to install anything...

Also something like deborphan (so one can get a list of packages that might be safely removable). And perhaps some way to see how much space packages occupy. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
