iPod touch Only 50mb for apps?

[mahger]

Installer.app tells me I only have about 50mb to install apps. My friend who has an 16gb says it tells him he also has about that much. Is this really all we have?

d'OH! Here is the copy from it.

From Touchdev

This is how I moved /Applications to my media folder in order to make more room for 3rd party software. First, check to make sure that /private/var is mounted to allow execution. You should be able to check /etc/fstab and the "mount" commands, and not be able to see "noexec" listed anywhere.

# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/disk0s1 / hfs rw 0 1
/dev/disk0s2 /private/var hfs rw 0 2
# mount
/dev/disk0s1 on / (hfs, local, noatime)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/disk0s2 on /private/var (hfs, local, noatime)

If you see "noexec" listed in /etc/fstab, you will need to modify it and remove "noexec" so that it appears like above. If you make changes to /etc/fstab, reboot the ipod afterwards.

Then you can go ahead and create the new Applications directory, copy your old one over, and create the symlink:

# mkdir /private/var/Applications
# cp -Rp /Applications/* /private/var/Applications
# mv /Applications /Applications.backup && ln -s /private/var/Applications/ /Applications

Reboot to make sure your new /Applications is working properly:

# reboot

Afterwards, I moved the backup to the media folder.

# mv /Applications.backup /private/var/Applications.backup

Voila... more free space for applications.

50 MB?!?! Mine only reports 18.2 MB. I haven't moved the Applications file folder anywhere, does anyone know what's wrong? Is it because of the ridiculous amount of email that I downloaded then put in the trash bin, then deleted the email account?
