What I
did was move the apt and dpkg directories out of the rootfs and everything works
nicely.
(I
posted about this back on the 19th)
First
get root access e.g. sudo gainroot or ssh into the device with root
access
then
mkdir
/opt/cache
mkdir
/opt/lib
cd
/var/cache
mv apt
/opt/cache
ln -s
/opt/cache/apt apt
cd
/var/lib
mv apt
/opt/lib
ln -s
/opt/lib/apt apt
mv
dpkg /opt/lib
ln -s
/opt/lib/dpkg dpkg
This
moves the cache and the libraries over to the opt directory, with symbolic links
so everything runs as normal
When I
did this, I moved about 56 meg out of the rootfs.
