I have created a small advanced homebrew application called "Fair Dinkum App Limit", which removes the 64MiB arbitrary limit on the number of applications that you can install. Note that the safety net limit of 100MiB free space is not removed. Use the MvApp program, or the Meta-Doctor to increase the available free space in your /var partition.

To use it, you must first install Preware. You can either use WebOS Quick Install to do that (make sure you follow the instructions correctly), or you might like to alpha test one of the new Preware stand-alone installers at http://get.preware.org ... (please don't ask for help with the alpha installers in this thread, just use the official instructions instead).

Then use Preware to install Fair Dinkum App Limit. Search for it in the List of Everything.

That's all you need to do. As long as it is installed, the arbitrary limit on application installation will be disabled.

Please do not call this app "FDAL" - use "fairdinkum" as the short form if you must.

If you want to show your thanks, please feel free to .

Note that the naming credits for this app go to fellow aussie Tim Carroll from PalmInfocenter.com:

22:25 rwhitby: ok, the prototype for fixing both problems works. Now to think of a good name and package it up.
22:25 freakout: PhatVar
22:26 rwhitby: I need a name with class and correct spelling.
22:26 freakout: lol
22:26 freakout: don't look at me for class
22:27 rwhitby: and an australian flavour would be good too. oh - something with an australian spelling :-)
22:27 freakout: lol
22:27 freakout: my editor *hates* it when i use aussie spelling. "flavour" "colour" etc
22:27 rwhitby: let's see. colour, aluminium, neighbour, flavour, ...
22:28 freakout: DrongoFix has no class, but would confuse nicely
22:28 rwhitby: org.webosinternals.nowukkas
22:29 freakout: lmao. or perhaps FairDinkum
22:30 rwhitby: hmm - fairdinkum is not bad
