Please Jon, expand it a bit, por favor. I've just bricked my device and reflahed it again trying to symlink "anyway I need".<br><br>Maybe it's not a question for developers-list, but Nokia didn't thought that 128M wouldn't suffice me enough to install all apps I'd like for my device.
<br><br>When I bought N80 phone, I found a very useful and logic feature: when you install a new app, the application manager asks you whether you want it installed over your tiny phone memory, or over your large GB memory card.
<br><br>For don't-know-what-reason Nokia failed to make this feature available on his 770. They just let me create a 64M swap file that helps, but not that much.<br><br>So here I am, trying to make things work. I've learned how to create partitions with sfdisk (not so friendly as fdisk), format them with
mkfs.ext2 (that was easy), and mount and unmount them at startup and shutdown via init.d scripts (that was the worst one).<br><br>And now that I've learned all that much, I created the wrong symlinks: I cp'ed /usr to the MMC, and then made the wrong link: ln -s /media/mmc2/usr /usr. Yes, now I know it should be the reverse way, but do not understand why.
<br><br>My device is just now reflashed. Before reflashing it again and again, could somebody tell me what should I do right now, before installing any apps, what to do to be able to install them on the MMC instead of on the 770's internal memory.
<br><br>Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Am I the first guy who dares such a naive question? Don't you get pretty soon the no-more-free-memory advertisement after installing octave and abiword? Wouldn't you like to install anything you like and more?
<br><br>Why should it be so difficult?<br><br>Salut.<br>Sebas.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/2/2, Jon Smirl <<a href="mailto:jonsmirl@gmail.com">jonsmirl@gmail.com</a>>:</span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
If you don't have to have files that are larger than a single volume, <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">you can just use a symlink to logically merge them any way you want.
