most likely - use your free space and this will work out nice |
| 19 |
if you are short of hd-space it might find handy either to boot with the |
| 20 |
boot-disk and start from scratch. It might also be possible to download |
| 21 |
stage1 and build a basesystem, make a kernel, reboot and copy from this |
| 22 |
partition and to another with more space if you wish that. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
After all; what that is the most effective solution will depend on how |
| 25 |
much hd-space you've got, how your partitioning is today and how you'd |
| 26 |
like it to become. There are tools to do resizing of filesystems and |
| 27 |
partitions, but I have no experience with those, and my intution tells me |
| 28 |
that those in many cases will destroy the data on at least the partition |
| 29 |
and filesystem you are treating. |
