I do not know why, but I have no space in my dream.

I see in the bin directory some directories I never saw before

like:
-ash--»busybox
-awk "
-basename "
-bunzip2 "
and many others with the same final (busybox)

I have also, in the bin directory, the file enigma - size 3.192.968
and "smbmount" size 185.572, and many others.

Can some one help me?

many thanks

FTP your box and remove things you don't need.
How many emu's have you got ? One is all that you need.
How many unused key files have you got ? Loads I would imagine.

The above 2 are the common problems, a few other things to remove if you have are unused plugins, skins you may have downloaded, last thing to do is make sure you have nothing writing to tmp folder.

my problem is to know what is needed.
exemple:- the big file enigma in the /bin directory is needed or not?

many thanks

Do not delete any files, delete enigma and the box will not boot.
The 500s is very limited on space so making room by removing the bits and pieces I have listed above is about the best it is going to get.
 
what do you mean with "I have listed above...." I see nothing about list.
if I try transfer a directory ie "top" I receive:-top--»busybox is a link.transfer not possible.
do you understand that?

sorry for my bad english.

thankyou

They are NOT directories, they are symlinks for commands that are passed to busybox, busybox is a big part of what makes your dreambox work. DONT touch them!!! Delete busybox and you will have an idlebox.

Are your really trying to break your box?:eek:

Do what sonic says in post #2, remove any emu's, plugins, skins and key files you are not using. There is not a lot more you can do.
 
Hello, try to edit (delete) satellites which do not use.
In computer with DreamBoxEdit, edit, list of satellites (settings) then put in DreamBox list published.
cheers
