Hi,

See my old post [1] to this list about how to trim down the rootfs size.
Also, make sure to always "apt-get clean" after an upgrade. Regularly
delete stuff in /var/log in case you encountered some syslog-spamming
kernel bug like I do sometimes with my Desire Z.
Also, the currently published unflipped images have a broken
sources.list configuration AFAICT, since the unity-next PPA is missing,
so add the unity-next PPA before upgrading. Maybe this is fixed by now.

The official minimum /data partition size is 3GB IIRC. However, I'm
successfully using Ubuntu Touch on my 1GB /data, with some modifications
for the way the image is flashed (extracting the tar.gz from /sdcard
instead of /data, I have a merge request on Launchpad that fixes this by
choosing the location depending on the free space in various locations,
but it's probably not getting pushed upstream due to lack of testing).
So while it's not officially supported, it's possible. :-)
Cheers,
Florian
