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 $@ fi wikiETX chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/apt-get
bash and tools
apt-get install bash cat <<"wikietx" >/home/user/.bashrc # ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. PATH=/usr/bin/gnu:$PATH export PS1='\h:\w\$ ' umask 022 # You may uncomment the following lines if you want `ls' to be colorized: export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto' eval "`dircolors`" alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS' alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -l' alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA' # # Some more alias to avoid making mistakes: alias rm='rm -i' alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' wikietx cp /home/user/.bashrc /root/ chown user /home/user/.bashrc apt-get install coreutils-gnu apt-get install less apt-get install findutils apt-get install man-db-n900
random stuff to config / fix 'things' (c&p to shell)
