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

chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/apt-get

bash and tools

# You may uncomment the following lines if you want `ls' to be colorized:
export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
#### for unclear reasons messybox feels obliged to source .bashrc >:-(
#### so this will break the messy ls, and you'll need to use bash
eval "`dircolors`"
