Disk Space and Installer.app Problems after JB 1.1.3
January 29th, 2008
Because the 1.1.3 firmware seems to take up more space on the system partition than 1.1.2, you quickly start running into disk space problems.
To solve these problems (like the Installer jumping to Springboard while installing a package) you can move your applications folder to the media partition, here is how:
Connect to your iPhone using SSH and issue the following commands.
cp -r /Applications /private/var/
rm -r /Applications
ln -s /private/var/Applications /
chmod +s /Applications/Installer.app/Installer
Close your SSH session.
You should now be able to run all applications and install new ones.
