Rouben proposed the following answer:
You can certainly accomplish this by reinstalling, however, there are a
couple of things you should be aware of: the eeePC laptops actually ship
with two separate solid state disks that add up to 20GB, so you may not
have the option of completely collapsing them. Secondly, to resize
partitions you should boot off the live CD in order to get the option to
resize the partitions (resizing a partition you're actively using is a
bad idea in general, so partition manager disables resizing for the hard
drive you're booting from).

In the top right corner of the partition manager screen you should see a
drop-down menu that lists your hard disk (solid state disks) devices.
How many are listed and what are their names? If you double check that,
you will be able to confirm whether or not they are separate disks or
separate partitions on the same disk.
