Neil >>> Thanks for the ideas. I think you're right about LVM - may be a bit advanced for me just now. I wish I'd had your idea about leaving some space before I went ahead. But never mind - I made / 30Gb, swap 2Gb, and /home got the rest of the space. I guess, if need be, I could split the /home partition, which is the last on the drive, and move a directory tree. I'm hoping this won't ever be necessary; but I'd be grateful if you could send the link if you think it might help. Diolch yn fawr iawn!
