Manila 2.5 ROM's are much bigger than previous ROM's because of all the extra dependencies (I've never made a ROM that was over 130M, now I can't make one under 160M), this is why you are seeing a smaller total memory, and why you don't have nearly as much free space.

So you surely do have more than 62M of total memory, but you only have 62M that you can actually use. If you've ever tried to overwrite a file that was part of the ROM (i.e you didnt add it after flashing), you will see that you do not get back the space of the original file (i.e you can never get that back that space) and the new file will take up space from your 'total displayed memory'. (not just the difference, the entire file size)

Thanks Omni, that answered my question and now I know how to interpret the available memory. I wonder if the Opera 9.7 ROM will leave more memory available than the Opera 10 ROM?
