Debian Powerpc installed on partition too small to add desktop environment

Hi There,

I have successfully installed debian powerpc onto my 9600/350 powerMac but
the partition I created is only 800mb so I cannot install the desktop
environment.

Is it possible to move some of the current install to other partitions
without having to start from scratch?

I no longer have Mac OS 8.5 on this machine that is how I managed to install
Debian using BootX from the Mac OS.

Can't seem to find any reference to this problem on the web.

.
