have you already moved app managers cache?

WTF? Those instructions that doesn't actually move the cache, it only uses a temporary cache for doing one operation in this case dist-upgrade, which you should NOT do.

the script mentioned however does it.

Feel free to do so - if you're that advanced then you'll also be capable of managing the rootfs space yourself.

Yes I did everything I can. However now I have only 11M free space and I have nothing to delete. And have no skill for writing such script.

well i dont am a power user. and know absolutely not what im doing... Yet i still do it why? Because its fun! I keep laughing about the stupid systems. Why is this NAND chip so small anyway?

Why is this NAND chip not 2 GB or 32 GB. and how many times faster is it anyway? Like you mention any difference anyway with an app of 20 MB the eMMC reads it within 2 seconds and write it in 4. its getting allot of trouble with optimising nothing.

The OS should be on the NAND and the rest on the eMMC.

Then move & symlink things - there's been plenty of scripts to do this posted in the various threads. If you move the wrong thing, then it could leave your N900 unbootable though. And you could run into issues next time you come to update the firmware. But hey, you're a very advanced user so you'll be able to cope with that.

open your eyes and look at threads. keyword hint: "repartition"

I used cloned OS on my N810 and I was fully satisfied with it. I bought my N900 for more than $1000 and now I cannot install needed software
