Can someone develop a new app that moves the app directory over to the the media stuff so that we can get more disck space for those of us that dont understand winscp or putty or anything

A simple app that can do this for us to free disk space would be great

Thanks all

I don't see a need for this. People need to understand SSH for numerous reasons. It would be better if you educated yourself with these programs. Honestly.

SSH is NOT hard. If you're having difficulty grasping it, you will have difficulty in modern life. Seriously.

Learn. Read forums. Try. That's the only way you'll ever grow. I've gone through so much in regards to my phone, and I keep on learning. That's what is important. We are here to help if you mess up, but not to hold your hand and do things for you. Come on now. It is very VERY simple to ssh.

I hope you can feed yourself. It's that easy...

How to install Apps on Media partition

Origninal: /dev/disk0s1 / hfs rw 0 1
/dev/disk0s2 /private/var hfs rw, noexec 0 2

Shouldn't number 15 be like below?

15. Window will popup and type in: (Note: Symbolic link.jpg)
Link/shortcut file:
Applications
Point link/shortcut to:
/var/root/Applications/

Pointing the link to /var/root/Applications/Applications/ would look for a second applications directory in the applications folder.

Opps! Sorry man I make my folder duplicate twice! Should look like this: /var/root/Applications/ instead of this /var/root/Applications/Applications/ Thanks dude! I am writing this tutorial instead of using Putty for command line. I know many people have no clues or having a hard times to understand command line.
