Hay Fourm,
OK so I received a nice 8 gig flash drive for Xmas this year and thought I would put it to good use by installing 8.10 on it using this guide on pendrivelinux.com http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/11/04/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/ I like this idea because the install is persistent compared to running it like a live CD. The only issue is that after I get it all setup it gives me about a gig of room or so left when actual I have about 6 or so gigs. So by the time I'm done installing updates and everything, it says im out of room. I opened up gparted to see if there was any partition restrictions, but it shows 1 large partition without any type or logical separation or anything. I cannot understand why it doesn't take advantage of the full drive space. If there is anyone out there that can help me it would be great! THNX!!
