"Settings App" => "General" => "About"
That should tell you how many storage you have left.
As for the system (OS) partition (since you were referring to "system memory") check in Cydia or Installer for "Boss Tools" - that will a) tell you how much THERE is left and b) give you some options to free up some space.

If you were talking about memory as in "RAM", there was an app like "System Info" or such, that also told you how much of that is free, but I doubt it'll have to do anything with storing the ROM images....

That was really helpful thanks. The only question I have left is what level should my system partition stay above to keep my itouch lag/brick free.

What are some good sources for Cydia and/or Installer?

I'm interested in that to.

CandyMilk is my favorite

The first one listed in Cydia (Apple-News.fr i believe) has pretty much everything.

Deep (I'm using it), Tenuis, Illuminous, MobilePod, and that's about it...

I run Neco now, used to use Pump.

I am following this tutorial to install Installer
Adding installer Tutorial - iPod touch Fans forum

But it says go to the Applications directory, where is this? Is it:
/private/var/mobile/Applications
or
/private/var/stash/Applications.vot1l8

Edit: I see the apps I installed from Cydia are in /private/var/stash/Applications.vot1l8 so do I use this?

w00t, nice nice. Can't believe it's here. What's the difference :$. Too lazy to read .. haha

I'll do it on the weekend.

Try both? I'm not sure which it would be.

I really don't like installer that much. Not so much the software, I just find there are less repos and stuff.

As for themes, I usually use Buuf 2 mixed with Madsouls Organ.

 

[Moose]

Installer is kinda... lame. :s

 

[Lachrymose]

So, Moose. Everything went well when jailbreaking you're 2G?

My friends keep nagging me to do theirs and I just want to make sure its safe and stuff.

 

[Moose]

Yeah, I didn't even hit one snag.

 

[mohaas05]

Just make sure because some sites tell you you should end all iTunes-related processes when you "restore" to the custom firmware. You do NOT want to do this as it will cause the restore to fail. Only do that when you start boothelper.

 

[Moose]

I've never had to end any processes.

So you used my guide?

 

[Bran]

Can you add programs manually to the iPod?

I don't have internet that the iPod can use.

I got Snowboard or whatever when I was out at the mall today but now I'm home and have no internets for the iPod...

Just got my first app released. It's retailing .99 US or should be (might be free for a few minutes while they update the app page).

Please post constructive criticism. I can offer 5 free codes if you guys want to try it. I do warn that it is very basic and should probably be based at free but yes, I did set it for .99. :mellow:
