Here's a debian command to sort all your applications by size...
Found here. (may need to pipe it through less).
This won't show you which ones are optified or not, but on the big ones you can check where they install to with dpkg -L <package name>. If my understanding of the n900 is right, if it installs anywhere but the /opt directory then there's something wrong.
Code:
dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k2 -n

ScummVM took quite a bit of space from root in my device, if I remember correctly.

U can also try DiskUsage, it'll show you your root space as a pie and each folder in a graphic part of the pie

This is quite an issue....
Most of what I've installed from extras also has taken up a decent amount of space in the root partition. I'm only at 76%, but I may not have installed much...
I have the following installed:
not quite sure if ALL of these are from extras, but most of them should be.
TI85
petrovic
Mirror
Bounce
Omweather
maemorecorder
VNC viewer
Conboy
ForecaWeather
zoutube
Xournal
office doc viewer suite
Hermes
I know these are from testing/devel
Dialcentral
Xchat
either way everytime I've installed something I've checked before and after installation, and rootfs definitely gets filled a bit each time...

Maybe someone could explain it to me. why is it that the root was limited to 200ish, mb? was it a choice?
I mean the whole optification issue would have not been much of an issue if root was given a couple of gbs. There is like 32 on there
Just a matter of pushing neatness in packaging?
I'm not upset in anyway. It's fine. I just wanna enlighten myself

root is on a special onboard memory chip with a size of 256 MB.
optification would not even be needed if we as devs had followed the standards, which basically say:
"This directory is reserved for all the software and add-on packages that are not part of the default installation" and "Under no circumstances are other package files to exist outside the /opt, /var/opt, and /etc/opt hierarchies except for those package files that must reside in specific locations within the filesystem tree in order to function properly"
There is also a Wiki entry. But a bit too complicated.
