    1-BossTools on cydia...The system folder&also iphone fw is located on the root partition,which is only 500MB.By using this tool,you can move all your apps.,system fonts&few other things to the larger partition 'private/var...
    2-When you upgrade your fw,you can build a custom ipsw with a bigger root partition...

    If you install Cydia, this is already done automatically I believe. BossTools was great when all we had was Installer.
