CentOS 5.5 in VMware under Windows 7: running out of disk space

Hi, guys!

I'm using the subj and after installing some packages into Linux inside VMware almost run out of disk space. It was 60% empty, but now became only 13% empty. In what way could I extend the disk's storage size?

With best regards,
Aleksey

VMware Converter resizes only virtual drive, but doesn't resize the file system of guest OS.
