Ah, no. What he's basically saying is that even if the chances of fu**ing up are slim, you can make yourself a backup on your own accord. The commands he posted are the ones to move the Applications.
Got a tip for us?

I used the wrong terminology, I guess... yes, the Installer was hidden using Customizer since I want as uncluttered a springboard as possible. However, I am unhiding it immediately since I see now how stupid that was. Damn my minimalism. I misspoke also in my last post when I wondered if uninstalling Finder would restore the apps back to the springboard... this of course would be the domain of Customizer.

Right, where is the backup stored is what Im asking?
There is no backup
If you want a backup you can make one but those commands do not make a backup.
Looking at the code OrangeCuse the backup will be generated and stored in 'private/var', which you could then SSH onto your computer.
Cool, thanks. Looking at the code, can i perform this even if i havent created a symlink yet and use it just to back up?
Edit: Actually, I just need to type in the first command then?

I haven't tried this myself (yet) but I thought I'd mention that there is a new app. in Installer today (1/12/08) called BossTool v 0.34 and it seems that it would allow you to do this (move applications to the larger partition) to allow for more applications to be installed) right on the iPod Touch.
I believe you need to have the ModMyiFone.com source added to the Installer to get it.
Also, you need to have the BSD subsystem installed on your device.
Good luck!

Let me know if you get it to work.
I'm not even able to get the app BossTool to show up in installer!
I added the recommended source from the website, and many Boss apps appear, but not the BossTool. Seems strange to me, but that is about the way things have been going for me with this whole process.
If you figure it out please post your findings.

There is a Boss souce which will give you it, ill check hold on...
EDIT: Nope, I got it from the ModMyiFone source... There is a new version so it should be in "Recent Packages"
Ok, I installed the boss tool and I THINK that its working. I uninstalled a bunch of programs, and then re-installed them. So far I have not gotten a low space error message, however, It shows I have only 25MB of 300.. the Touch seems to be running a bit faster also. Is this what its supposed to do??
It will still show the space thing but it shouldnt change when installing apps.
That's a good question actually. I think if you restore to 1.1.3 then it should wipe the filesystem clean and start afresh. Don't quote me on that though
