Im trying to build an HTPC on XBMC LiveCD with no other underlying system (only the LiveCD). I installed the system by selecting option 0 from boot menu which allocated:
2g to /dev/sda1 (/media/sda1)
and
146g to /dev/sda3 (/home)
now when i try to:
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get upgrade
this gave an error message that "/boot" did not exist
# mkdir /boot
# dpkg --configure -a
# sudo apt-get upgrade
#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
(which im doing to resolve my ATI Radeon problem and got from this link:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=2...post252921)
the update line went ok, but when it came to the upgrade, i got this msg:
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.
my question is, how can i install the system with more space allocated to /dev/sda1 (like 10G or so)?

This might be what you are looking for.

Thanks rodercot for your reply, but unfortunatly the only access that I have right now is through putty. My actual problem is:
1. configure my ATI Radeon 9250 graphic card, which requires
2. sudo apt-get update / upgrade, which need
3. space on my sda1
if i can manage to use the space on sda3 to save the updates. This is what i get when I df -h:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
unionfs 1.5G 1.5G 0 100% /
varrun 252M 60K 252M 1% /var/run
varlock 252M 0 252M 0% /var/lock
udev 252M 32K 252M 1% /dev
devshm 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3 146G 188M 138G 1% /home
/dev/sda1 2.0G 1.9G 64M 97% /media/sda1

http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/resizing-...ith-parted
i doubt that this will work since the partition that i want to resize is the one with the boot on it and in order to resize (from what i understood from the link) is that basically i erease both partitions and then create a new one
This what I got so far:
