Adding tools to PineTab without filling root partition
09-16-2020, 09:13 PM
I would like to get some tools on my PineTab - build-essential, git, midnight commander, pip3 install various things, jupyter etc.
One can remount the root partition as rw and then use apt to install things, and I've had success with that but it soon fills up the root partition which has less than 600MB free after a fresh install. I'm not sure if there is a way I can target installations to go into the userdata partition.
Alternatively I could install things from source in my home directory, however of course I will need build-essential which will fill up my root partition.
What options do I have to make this work?
