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.

Abstractly, you'll dig up the apt-get configuration files and edit them to whereever the mount point of your 16gig drive is.

Concretely, I haven't the faintest of where those files are (likely under /etc/apt-get/ or similar), and what syntax to use.

'man apt-get' on Google. Allocate an hour or so of insulting man page authors for figuring this out.
