So I have this netbook; her name's Io and she runs Ubuntu. Io has a hard drive of a few hundred meg. She also has a permanently inserted memory card of sixteen gig. Every time I start her up, she complains about hard drive space and her lack thereof. How do I convince her that the memory card is her hard drive? Or at least convince Update Manager to download updates onto the memory card? Because I haven't saved a single thing to disk on Io that isn't an update from Update Manager.

I know this isn't the question you asked but update manager keeps the package it downloads. So you MIGHT want to clear out the cache of downloaded updates (They're kinda superfluous once they're installed.) The command to do that is

sudo apt-get clean
