I can't install security updates because there is not 372 mb of free space on /. The command "sudo apt-get clean" that the "Can't Install Updates" message box recommends, this does nothing. How do you re-size partitions in Linux? My file system capacity is 2.8 gb and I have 527 mb free. I am running Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu side by side on a 160 gb SATA hard drive. Can I add to the 2.8 gb Ubuntu partition using Partition Magic from Windows XP?
