no need, because if the cache partition is fill it uses /data/local/download. could wipe the download cache(s) on boot though. not shore if it already odes this though.Might put that in my softmod to have a rom with it pre configured

Really? I didn't know that.
Hmm, without looking at this, I made a separate thread for this. Cache partition is limited in size. Although Android can move to /data/local/download, moving to SD will give you more freedom. I had problem downloading Star Legends, Pocket Legends and Paranormal Agency at once due to large apk size. Plus, internal memory of GT540 is kind of slower than a class 4 SD.
Symlinking cache/download to ext2/ext3 partition should give you a performance boost as well but yes, performance boost for downloading and installing apps only. lol

4Hey developers!
We all know that our device has little memory. The Cache partition is only 64MB, of which only 20 are free!
Because of that, I'm going to show you how to use a folder on your SD card to download games and apps from the Android Market, instead of the default one(/cache/download)!
Requirements:
-Terminal Emulator (or ADB Shell)
-Root access
Tutorial:
1. Open Terminal Emulator
2. Type these commands in order:
Code:su mkdir /sdcard/cache-download rm -rf /cache/download ln -s /sdcard/cache-download /cache/download
3. Enjoy your Cache2SD!
This was tested and it works on SwiftDroid 2.0 RC11
I've found a fix: just don't run the line that causes problem and you should be good.
