Well, a 600MB image for Debian turned out to be a bit too optimistic, at least, if I would like to run Gnome 😉 So I was looking for a way to resize the image. Actually, I am not sure if this will work, but it sound reasonable:
You need to boot up with a rescue CD. Then you can use the command line tools e2fsck and resize2fs. For example:
e2fsck -f /dev/hda3
resize2fs /dev/hda3 2000MYou can also use GUI tools like qtparted [1].
Eventually one could just mount another bigger image and move the system to it [2]. Just a guess.
