On this wiki page:
   http://wiki.freepascal.org/Small_Virtual_Machines

I show:
   sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mytempfile (this is very slow as it fills 
the entire partition)
   sudo rm -f /mytempfile

That last step is a little dangerous as my Linux student friends at Ohio 
State have a similar example that they like to point out.  :)

Also, I'm not sure what exactly it does so you should research it more 
before doing it!
