My guess is that there is something to allow the protected download of paid apps from Ovi store. Apt, in fact, is one of the upgraded packages.

EDIT: now I see I was right: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=530053&postcount=8

I fail to see how my post is pessimistic or optimistic. It simply is.

I am just stating a fact. Emotions don't have to be put into everything.

How much space do I need to update? This rootfs space is the biggest **** on the n900... Why would I want a 32Gb phone if it is always sayingh that memory is full!?

After the update how free is the rootfs?

Hi,

I have done the Update over NSU. However, while all the files are still on the SD card/ Phone Memory, neither photos, nor music is shown in the media player/ photo viewer. I have waited for the file manager to update the lists and still nothing after an hour or more. Thanks, any advice appreciated. I tried to reinstall the update over NSU with same success.

You tell me the new one - you have it installed

Funny since it shows exactly the same version...

My question is that wasn't N900 suppose to have Flash 9.4 to begin with???
I know that this probably has something to do with not identical versions with x86 versions but still I find this odd.
Couldn't it cause problems if websites see the version as 9.0 instead of 9.4??

rick you will need somewhere greater then 43mb.

The rootfs is on a separate (and i think) faster chip then the rest. This enables the N900 to be quick

(Again i think).

Most applications are optified, meaning very little goes in there, and most of it gets stored on the rest of the device.

If you use testing/dev apps, you may have un optified apps. thats just life unfortunatley

Yeah I realised that since my post. If I want to install the UK variant of 1.1.1 then I can just flash with the bin file (once it's available) over my current 1.1 global FW right? I.e. I don't need to flash to UK variant 1.1 first.

Another question, updating via flashing (to whatever FW version) means I have to restore backup (to get my contacts etc) and re-install apps afterwards whereas with an OTA update all of those things stay intact. Is that correct?
