Dezmo is still having a problem:
Actionparsnip: I would still need space to do things other than run
updates, but I get what you're saying.


Tom: I ran these in the "Try Ubuntu without changes to your computer" (or whatever) with the boot disk, so I could access GParted, just in case it makes a difference. Anyway, I ran free -m and got 

                    total       used        free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:            937         729         208          0         83        356
-/+ buffers/cache:        289        648
Swap:        73288            0     73288


And then, with running sudo fdisk -l, I got

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order


I made the sad assumption that by making the unallocated space into linux-swap, it would automatically add more disk space to the Linux partition. Never attempting this by myself again!
