/dev/ubda space
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ubda 99150 77071 16959 82% /
But 99150 blocks is only about 100 MB. Shouldn't /dev/ubda be using the whole 1GB disk space (minus the 64 MB I selected for swap)?? Where's the other 900 MB of space?

What is the size of the image reported in the Members area?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ubda 97M 76M 16M 82% /
From the members area:
Debian 3.0r1 (Small) Disk Image
100 MB, ext3, readonly: No
Status: Ready
64MB Swap Image
64 MB, swap, readonly: No
Status: Ready
Storage Summary Total: 1024 Megabytes
Used: 164 Megabytes
Free: 860 Megabytes
Should I use the "Create an empty disk image" thing to make the other 860 MB available for use?
If I want to make the /dev/udba space bigger, do I need to create the bigger udba from scratch and then reload debian onto it, or is there a way to expand the existing udba?

That's right – either of the two. You could create an empty disk image and mount it some place on your filesystem.
Or, start over with the distro wizard and make the image max size from the start.
Currently we don't have an automated method to resize disks.

I really need to get my /dev/ubda larger.****

It'd be great if you could get such a thing working. But for now, what are my options if I'd like to "start over"? (I just extended from 1 gig to 2 gigs of space, but then realized that it didn't just give me extra space).
If I create another disk and mount it, I'll have to place stuff there deliberately. I'd really like to continue placing stuff in my home directory or in the /usr/local path or whatever. And I can't do this (I don't think) if I just mount another drive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
