Memory for applications
 
I just got my N900 few days ago and noticed that "memory for installable applications" is only 1.86 GB.
Does that mean i cannot download & install any games or apps even though i have got 24GB free on my N900 memory?
Any advice please.

Some ported games use the 24GB for storing their data files. And the 2GB wont probably run out for loong time anyway, the 250MB space in RootFS is the one that usually runs out faster.

If you've filled up the 1.8GB, then you'll need to do some manual work to try to move data files from the apps partition (/opt) to the data partition (/home/user/MyDocs). Most apps take up very little space though, so it'll probably take you a while to fill up that space (I've still got 450M left, with dozens of apps and games installed).

is there anyway to increase the size of the data partition?
