Space, the final frontier

By gary hypes at 12/03/2009 - 04:14

Installed 9.04 as a dual-boot on a windows machine. Installation went fine,
runs just fine, but it created minimal space only for itself. Trying to
download updates via the update manager says there's not enough space, disk
janitor says there's nothing to clean up.

I'm not familiar with cfdisk. Should I create a new partition? Can I enlarge
the existing linux ext3 partition?

If you can boot that 9.04 use GParted to resize your partitions, but
please backup your data first!
If you can't boot 9.04 use Parted Magic <a href="http://www.partedmagic.com" title="www.partedmagic.com">www.partedmagic.com</a> and again -
back up your files first!

You can only resize unmounted partitions. Please use a live-CD (e.g.
9.04 Desktop edition) to lauch Gparted.
