Flash Expander "how to"
Flash Expander "how to"
This is the first thing I do, before all else, if I am not going to be using Multiboot.
What will it do? It will "expand" your rec's "flash" by using/making a USB stick a part of it!
How exactly? Well, it moves the heavily used but otherwise limited /usr folder to a USB memory stick and thereby we get to play properly, with a hefty EPG load, lots and lots of picons, subtitles, plugins, skins and cams galore - and never run out of space, plus still have our box to perform speedily and stably...
Get it here, attached to this post...
FileZilla Client -> enigma2-flashexpander-azboxhd_0.13-r1_mipsel.ipk package goes to your rec's /tmp folder (or /root).
Blue button -> PB Center -> PB System Setup -> IPK Installer -> OK -> yes. When done, press the EXIT button to return to PB Centre -> Restart GUI. Or whatever is used in your image for this task or in Main E2 Menu -> to Software Management, but sometimes we need to place it in /root -> Install ipk -> restart GUI etc.
When PB-E2 VX is running again, plug your USB stick (the faster the better) into your box!
Then, go to Menu -> Plugins -> Flash Expander -> create press OK -> choose where/which USB stick and partition, if you have more...
At that point it starts working (= moving /usr folder to USB stick), telling you to wait...
If it is successful, at some point it will ask you if you'd like to "Restart your box"? Press OK and wait...
After a little time E2 restarts and God's your uncle... Remember, all that you install will now go to /media/FlashExpander folder and other folders on USB stick that you will determine later on, so you don't have to worry about E2 getting too big, slowing it all down, running out of memory etc.
