  Hints to free up some space:
- Remove /usr/share/man
- Remove /usr/share/doc
- Remove unneeded directories in /usr/share/locale/ (mine now contains
  only the English variants, plus French)

  The files in there will reappear if you reinstall or upgrade
packages, so this is only a temporary trick.  Nice results, though:

debian-gta02:~# df -h /
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs                462M  287M  151M  66% /
debian-gta02:~# 

  Still not small enough to fit into NAND flash, unfortunately.

Roland.
