I've had nokia-maps in /opt for a while now. It works fine and freed about 10.5 MB.

@OP
Are you sure you didn't type an extra / at the end? Yes it makes a difference
ln -s /home/opt/nokia-maps/ /usr/share/nokia-maps (without a / at the end)

Have about 115MBs free on rootfs, that's about 50% as df shows.

What about after firmware update (PR1.2)? Does it mess things up then? If new version of Maemo Evi Maps goes to /usr/share/nokia-maps again replacing the soft link, then one has to remember delete old one and move again.

*sigh* kind of mess this N900's filesystems and directorytree.

I can understand / and /home being in different devices, due to different kind of physical memory, but why /dev/mmcblk0 is then partitioned to two partitions, one with ext3 and other with vfat?

yeh i read that but did not use it because i dont feel i require that much space for anything, i currenlty have 55mb free after installing many apps, the only thing i have done is deleted some languages from local which gave me about 8mb.

Well I had 115MBs, now I have 50 or so :P
Yes, extras-devel has always and will be always enabled :)

The software hosted in extras-devel is not ready for normal users!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't play with it unless you really know what you are doing. Be ready to file proper bug reports instead of posting complaints.

Expected problems: crashes, battery drain, poor system performance, full disk space & more - SERIOUSLY!
Don't play with Extras-devel if you haven't backed up your data or aren't prepared to re-flash your device.
