How can i install more apps?

[bbebeka]

am trying to install more apps on some netbooks i have and running out of space on system partition or user partition not exactly sure which one its using as a default path to install to but is there any way i can change the installation path to say the home partition. Thank you

If you want to install more apps and need additional space, boot from an install key, then select "Expert Options" followed by "Resize base system partition." This allow you to make the base partition any size you want.

Bear in mind that the bigger the base system partition, the longer it will take to install on subsequent machines and the larger the USB install key you will need to store the image. Ubermix starts with a 4.5Gb base partition (with about 200Mb free) so I'd recommend upping it to 5Gb to start. That way, you can keep your future install times and key sizes to a minimum.

See http://ubermix.org/customization.html for further information.

tanks lots for ze response BUT i uped my base system partition to 50GB just to see  but its still using my user change partition . is there a way that i can up the user changes partition. and all dpkg or any kinda installs are using the same partition.  this is what i get whn i do "df -h" from ze terminal

Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
aufs                          1.1G  489M  493M  50% /
tmpfs                         497M   28K  497M   1% /tmp
tmpfs                         199M  844K  198M   1% /run
/dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM      50G  4.7G   45G  10% /ro
udev                          489M  4.0K  489M   1% /ro/dev
/root/dev/disk/by-label/USER  1.1G  489M  493M  50% /rw
tmpfs                         497M  672K  496M   1% /var/log
tmpfs                         497M     0  497M   0% /var/tmp
none                          489M  4.0K  489M   1% /dev
none                          5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                          497M  188K  496M   1% /run/shm
/dev/sda3                     182G  2.9G  170G   2% /home

so every time i install something /root/dev/disk/by-label/USER  goes low while /dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM  stays as it is. then i run out of space and cant install anymore.

You'll want to boot into generic mode to install apps that you want to keep on a reset, ie install to the SYSTEM partition. Read the customization Page completely for details. If you really want a big user changes partition too, you can make that happen by following the instructions at http://wiki.ubermix.org/page/Increase_User_Space

Bear in mind that a larger user space means you have more to lose on a reset.
