Why not reinstall and in the process upgrade. 2. If you have installed gparted you can first move the data from the front to the back (see the gui bar to figure what i am saying) then resize the size of the /home which will create some space (unused). Make sure you back up your data - things do happen My personal pref for /(root) partition size is 5-7 GB 3. The reinstall 8.04 or any of the newer versions 8.10 or 9.04. When installing using the live cd version again run gparted delete the existing root and merge the two unsed partions to form one bigger partion. and now you can use manual disk configuration option select this new partition as the root. This should allow you to have an expanded partition. If you want to use / retain 8.04 and have a lot of stuff installed - then first install apton and create an apton cd - then reinstall 8.04 with the expanded /root install apton and run it and you should be able to easily get back all the stuff you installed without having to repeat installing from the net. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
