Hello, please, how can I do symlink on my n810? - I have low free space on device memory (only 5MB) because I installed Wormux. I read about possibility doing symlink (if i understand it good - it is copying application's data to internal memory and link it) but I don't know how can I do symlink for more free space on device memory. So, please, can anyone help me with symlink ? Thanks

Open the terminal and use the command "ln -s"

The form is: ln -s link_from_this_file link_to_this_file

Note that you may need to re-partition and reformat part of your micro-SD card so that you can install the files there (I presume that's what you want to do) then symlink them back to their original locations.

The approach I'd take (other than just freeing some memory some other way ) is to see if wormux creates a large directory for its data file (e.g. under /usr/share) and then place the entire directory on the card and symlink the directory itself rather than each file one by one.
