Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel on Asus EEE 901

You can have a separate partition, on the 16GB part of the disk, where /usr  
will be mounted. Most of the software is in /usr and you will never fill the  
whole 4GB partition (where / is mounted). You can do that during the install  
procedure by choosing a custom partitioning scheme. You can also create this  
partition from a Live system (such as a Trisquel Live pendrive) with GParted,  
move everything from your current /usr to the new partition and add to  
/etc/fstab the line that will mount during the init, the file system of your  
new partition on /usr.

Notice also that cleaning, from time to time, the cache of APT (with the  
command 'sudo apt-get clean' or from the Synaptic package manager) saves  
quite some (hundreds of) megabytes.
