Re: apt-get, can't boot, wtf 770
 

thanks, penquinbait. I can't believe I forgot that.

I uninstalled a few things. The largest app installed is flite and it's only 2 megs. Mapper's maps are stored on the card but the poi.db (small) is in the device storage. With my 1GB card in and a 64 meg swap file, this is what I get:

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock4 2048 2048 0 100% /mnt/initfs
none 512 24 488 5% /mnt/initfs/tmp
/dev/mtdblock4 126464 69372 57092 55% /
none 512 24 488 5% /tmp
none 1024 44 980 4% /dev
/dev/mmcblk0p1 1019104 795456 223648 78% /media/mmc1

So, obviously, I have tons of trouble booting up if the card with a swap file is not in the device. I need more than 64 megs of memory to run in the above state. I actually see that 90-95% of root is full around the time that the device first boots up. Is initfs supposed to be full? That's all static config stuff, right?

I tried to reflash last night, but the DST issue caused the Nokia upgrader to lock me out. Yet another computer problem to deal with when I get time. Is there something like temp files or cache that I could just rm while I'm in xterm?

btw, re-flashing worked fine. Had to re-insert the dang repositories so I could begin installing programs and such. I wish it were a bit more like gentoo so I didn't have to go get the list of repos and the garage could have them all incorporated some how. :-(
