Disk full after new installation

[Hadeda]

After a new installation I tried to update the system (update manager.)

Error message: Not enough disk space.

The disk has 2 partitions: 20 Gb (Windows etc) and 220 Gb.

Ubuntu 9.04 was installed through the “side-by-side with Windows” option.

It automatically allocated space for the new partitions (ext3 and swap) on the 220Gb partition; there was no option for me to set the partition size.

Disk janitor, trash etc does not free up the required 300+ Mb of space.

My job is to migrate several systems to Ubuntu.

(1) Is there a way to avoid this problem right from the start?
(2) Can I increase the partition size after installation?

Many thanks!

there is an option to allocate how much space to allot ubuntu, you probably overlooked it. See the slider in the attached pic
