most likely - use your free space and this will work out nice
if you are short of hd-space it might find handy either to boot with the
boot-disk and start from scratch. It might also be possible to download
stage1 and build a basesystem, make a kernel, reboot and copy from this
partition and to another with more space if you wish that.

After all; what that is the most effective solution will depend on how
much hd-space you've got, how your partitioning is today and how you'd
like it to become. There are tools to do resizing of filesystems and
partitions, but I have no experience with those, and my intution tells me
that those in many cases will destroy the data on at least the partition
and filesystem you are  treating.

np

Good luck!
