patch eMMC aka *VANILLA* image file for larger /home partition (much easier than repartitioning the N900 *after* flashing. So if that's not obvious, this part is meant to be done on your linux desktop, prior to fresh full flash):
NEW-HOME-SIZE=4096 sed -e "s/2048/$NEW-HOME-SIZE/" path/to/*VANILLA*.bin >patched-VANILLA.bin
the text below is intended to c&p to N900 xterm
root cat >/usr/local/bin/apt-get <<"wikiETX" #! /bin/sh ## file /usr/local/bin/apt-get ## due to $PATH will override original apt-get cmd and create ## a file installed-aps.sh in ~root/ which can be sourced to redo ## all the apps installed via `apt-get install <app>` ag=/usr/bin/apt-get if [ "$1" = "install" ]; then echo '############ logged install ###########' $ag $@ && echo result: $? && echo $ag "$@" >>$HOME/installed-aps.sh else $ag $@ fi wikiETX chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/apt-get
