Install apps to sd

spotty123

Newbie
So, I'm trying to install a 50mb .apk on my phone and i can't because i dont have enough internal memory. I've already moved all my downloaded apps to my sd card (except system apps i cant seem to be able to move them), and i was asking if there was a way to install apps DIRECTLY onto the sd card, without having the app in my internal memory at any time.

I'm using Link2Sd to move the games and apps in android 2.1update1 (eclair), i have 173 mb free of 200mb, have ext2 and FAT partitions on my SD.
(BTW, the 50mb is Battleheart, in my brother's iOS it's about 200 mb, that's why i need to install it directly on the SD.)

Thanks for replying
 
Have you a rooted phone? Not sure for rooted phones but on unrooted ones, apps can only be installed to SD card if you have Android 2.2 as far as I know.
