[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 438017, member: 262829"] I was running out of memory so I took rolf's advise and bought a USB memory stick [COLOR=DarkRed]Sandisk Cruzer Micro 1GB.[/COLOR] And since the USB connector was already used by a USB keyboard, I bought a [COLOR=DarkRed]USB 1.1 hub for four devices.[/COLOR] Then I started to read about how to format the stick and move the /var to it. I read all the threads and posts, and I thought that I would use either Telnet or FlashWizard and see how it will go. Fortunately, the Gemini 4.0 image took care of everything. These are the steps: [COLOR=Blue][B]Formatting [/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]With the USB stick in, blue panel > Extras / Settings > USB-stik(Disk) formatting >[/COLOR] popup [COLOR=Blue]Formatting USB Disk[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]Cruzer Micro[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]Start (Green Button)[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]Are you sure ?[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]Yes (Green Button)[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]Formatting USB Disk[/COLOR] Done in less than 1 minute !!! [B][COLOR=Blue]Mount and var move [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Blue] Extras / Settings > Var-Folder > Move from /var To /var/mnt/usb/gemini/var Start (Green Button) [COLOR=Red]Are You sure you want to move this[/COLOR] /var to /var/mnt/usb/gemini/var Yes (Green Button) Restarted Enigma [COLOR=Black]After the box restarted, I noticed that the Var-Folder disappeared from the list. The box worked as usual. When I tried to add a large size plugin, I didn't get the error message about not enough memory. When the download started, the bar showed only about 2% !!!!:) [B][COLOR=Blue]USB Hub [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Red]Shutdown the box [/COLOR][COLOR=Blue][COLOR=Black]Disconnected the USB stick and connected the USB 1.1 4-way hub Then connected the USB stick and the keyboard USB plug into the hub Switched on the box and both the stick and keyboard working as usual.
