ok so i am trying to update to the most recent release of maemo. i
think<BR>> its a bug where any apps you install from the maemo
extras-devel get saved<BR>> in rootfs. it might be the apps from
maemo extras-testing too but im not<BR>> sure. so apparently i have
installed too many of them and i have no more<BR>> room left in rootfs.
my question is whats the best way to go about making<BR>> room.
should i uninstall some of the maemo extras-devel and how do i
know<BR>> which ones those are. or should i just delete data out of
rootfs and if so<BR>> how would i do that. thanks in
advance.<BR><BR></DIV></DIV>
