Stuckie: /* Part 1: the 1GB home extend */ Fixed the check as /tmp/1gb.overlay mounts to /home, and not the user's home folder.. see the thread for how this can cause confusion ;)

 Lenny Dev Extend
 * [http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/ExtendUtils/debian.lennydev.20110626.zip 512mb Lenny Extend]
 The Lenny Dev Extend has a Debian bootstrap with dev tools ( enough for the Wakebreaker GL ES example plus gtk 1.2 dev )<br />
-There's about a hundred meg left in the extend for additional libraries, or you can transfer it to a bigger extend via '''''cp -a oldExtend/* newExtend/'''''
+About 400mb is taken, so choose the 1GB extend if you think you'll need lots of additional libraries.
 Alternatively, check the [[Debian On SD]] project for booting Debian directly from SD card.
