'df' showed that the root partition was at 100%. So I quickly removed a bunch of applications and was able to bring it down 88%.

I know personally I was thinking of removing the vfat and opt partitions and format/expand home to the whole eMMC. Then hopefully I can set it so that only the microSD card is exported over mass storage, as most of my data transfer will be via a Linux machine anyway so mostly I will not need mass storage support.
It is bad though that we have to do this. The partition scheme should have been better thought out. I am certainly thinking in the above scenario I may also symlink some stuff from root to home as well. I do not want to have to worry about root filling up.

...does it get exported as mass storage over the USB?

This happens most probably because you are installing applications from extras-devel that haven't gone through the process of using the internal memory card to install files.

PS: can you please share the thicker apps you had installed to see where we should put our attention first? Feel free filing bugs asking them to use /opt and MyDocs as much as possible as explained in the link above.
) but didn't see a spike in the '/' usage. so not sure what is going on. perhaps because 'df' didn't report correctly (Bug 5450 ) Checking opt after the Vim installation showed Vim-related files so I think Vim is optified.

arachnist's question regarding JTAG/serial console over USB has been moved to its own thread. Those interested in the topic, please continue discussion there.

Has installing non-repository apps been confirmed as the root cause for the problem here, or is this going to be a cluster-fook for everyone?
If this is an issue, Nokia will scare all but the tech geeks away from this device. You tech geeks rock, but you do not drive most of the sales for the product.
The delay could be a blessing, but cause N900 preorders to get canceled in droves- if issues like this are a common problem.

And this is a little computer, not a mere phone.
this is about software not optimized for this operating system.
if you install w7 software on your win2000 sinclair, it won't work either.
edit:
ok, didn't get the ZX81 reference, no win2k
but you know what i'm saying.

Is there any app in extras (-stable) not optified? How could that happen?
In case you're talking about extras-devel apps, then OpenTTD is not optified and is probably around 6-10 MiB.
