Hi,

I don't know much at all about how Easy Debian is working on my flash drive. However I have it up and running and tried to update the packages using the Synaptic package manager (needs 250+ updates). While in the process it ran out of disk space. From reading other posts it seems like this is a common problem with this type of image system, but I didn't understand the linux-speak in most of these threds.

How I understand it is /dev/dm-0 is at 99% and I can't figure out how to make some space. So I uninstalled GIMP just to see what happens and I got about 8% back. Now I assume that this problem is related to the image space somehow being used up.

Does anyone have some simple suggestions on how I can update the install packages or add applications to Easy Debian without running out of disk space? I have a 4G card (empty except for Easy Debian) and a 2G card (60% full).

Thanks
Eric
