Hi all, sorry to bother you all, thought id ask for help before i try to flash.

i followed the intrustions to move maps =

Some applications like Nokia Maps and the microb-engine are placed in /usr/share taking up valuable root space, moving these files will not affect the apps. Moving Nokia Maps (has to be done as root):

mv /usr/share/nokia-maps /home/opt/
ln -s /home/opt/nokia-maps /usr/share/nokia-maps

The first command worked. but the second didnt. i just got that "/usr/share/nokia-maps" directory does not exist.
This now means that my maps are no longer working. Not a major issue, but would rather it did work

Weird. I tried it and it worked:

Code:
/home/user # mv /usr/share/nokia-maps/ /home/opt/
/home/user # ln -s /home/opt/nokia-maps/ /usr/share/nokia-maps
/home/user # ls -lad /usr/share/nokia-maps
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 Mar 23 08:43 /usr/share/nokia-maps -> /home/opt/nokia-maps/
/home/user #
After that I called Nokia Maps and it worked 100%.

If he creates the /usr/share/nokia-maps directory, when it makes a link there the link would go inside the directory, something like /usr/share/nokia-maps/nokia-maps. Then Nokia Maps would not work!

The "real" Nokia maps files are now on /home/opt/nokia-maps. The ln -s should have worked.

Ah, true. Forget what I wrote earlier.
