By the way, similar to what Graham mentioned. Get a larger sdcard. Personally I use 16G sdcards( think we have some 32's as well ), and resize the main partition to file the whole card. There are actually a few ways to do this, for me the quickest was is to use fdisk. Basically it involves deleting the main partition, then recreating the same partition, but with no limitation on the end. Which will use the entirety of the sdcard. Something to note about this procedure. If you do not know what you're doing, it can be "dangerous". No, the card wont destroy your neighborhood or anything of that nature, but you can render the disk unreadable. e.g. lose your existing data.
