   It took over any hour to uninstall all most all apps on the !n900 to free up 38mb+ on the rootfs for the OTA update to work.

     @usman next time, it might be faster to move some stuff, create symlinks and then rm * on /opt/cache/apt/archives to upgrade that !N900

     @bogart @usman better to save config w/ backup utility, flash the !n900, restore backup and it will also reinstall apps http://ur1.ca/03qxo

     @solstag the backup works great. Just don't accidentally erase it (doh!)

     @bogart @solstag Next time i will try moving stuff but i made a backup list of apps so i should be able to restore them without a problem.

     @bogart Regarding /var/cache/apt, it's better to have it permanently as a symlink to some directory under /home (where there's more space).

     @solstag If one sometimes uses apt-get, backup/reinstall apps is not safe as not all apps will be reinstalled. !N900
