I'm new to list, so first of all, hi to everybody.

Benvingut.


I have a 2GB card, and following your wiki, I've partitioned it with 2
1GB partitions. So:

First of all: which wiki? It's plenty of them...

 
# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk0p2            2.0M      1.8M    168.0k  92% /mnt/initfs
none                    512.0k     68.0k    444.0k  13% /mnt/initfs/tmp
/dev/mmcblk0p2          954.5M    684.3M    221.7M  76% /
none                    512.0k     68.0k    444.0k  13% /tmp
none                      1.0M     60.0k    964.0k   6% /dev
/dev/mmcblk0p1          966.8M      4.0k    966.8M   0% /media/mmc2


My first attempt on installing KDE has failed, basically cause I have
not enough space on device. Afer reading a little more, I've seen that
xfce and e17 are also available.

Is it possible to install KDE in a n800? Not in my n770

Anyway, how are you trying to install it? If you do it via the Application Manager there's an option to check the size of the package you're going to install (check Application details > Installing in order to take into account also the depending libraries).


I'm new to maemo and to n800 gadget, and I think I already know what I
want in my maemo, but before trying more crazy things, I'd like to ask
for advice.

So, here are my questions:

1.-) Are 2GB enought for e17 and a basic combo of apps? (claws, mpayer,
a feed reader, browser...)

2.-) Which could be a good partion table in my case? Just one part whit
2GB of space? 2 partitions and /dev/mmcblk0p1 mounted at /opt? (I don't
really now yet were are new apps going to be
installed /usr/local? /opt?...)

If you get only one Linux partition you won't have a FAT partition to share files with Windows boxes. If you get only one FAT partition you won't be able to boot from MMC.

/dev/mmcblk0p1 is by default going to be mounted at /media/mmcX.

New apps are going to be installed at /usr


3.-) Good set of n800 links? I already know maemo.org,
http://tabletschool.blogspot.com and they look very fine...
