Making live images bigger

[Gary Thomas <gary@mlbassoc.com>]

I'm running a live (USB) image on my Atom-PC and would like to
install more programs.  Now that I've figured out the magic to
use zypper and rpm (thanks, Mark), I have a new problem.  The
image on the USB device is too small - basically no free space :-(

So, I tried to adjust this by setting:
   /tmp/poky-amltd/meta-yocto/conf/machine/atom-pc.conf:IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3 ?= "1000000"
which I think should give me a 1GB USB setup.  Sadly, the result was exactly the
same size as when I ran it with the default size.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  I edited the config as above, then simply ran
   % bitbake poky-image-sato-live
I can see that it rebuilt the images, but they're just too small still.

Thanks
