Really annoyed about space and partitions

Post by mintuser »

Ok i have linux mint 8 installed on a 8gb flash drive. and whenever i try to install or download or save something it says that there is no more space. So i hit examine and it tells me there is 5gb free. This happens whenever i try to download or something to desktop, or home folder. And its really annoying. can you help me use those missing 5 gb before i go insane?

Installing or creating live usb using Lili's? Maybe you should resize the casper-rw file to be bigger (google it, tools such as toporesize)
