Partial Sync with iPod / iTunes

Question

I'm a new iTunes user so apologies if this is a really simple question. I want to store all my albums on iTunes , but only have a 2GB iPod nano. When I connect my iPod, it tries to sync all the music in iTunes - when I exceed 2GB on iTunes it can't sync.
Is there a way of having automatic updates switched on, but controlling what tracks/playlists are loaded to the iPod - I tried to use the 'tick' on the left , but deselecting this does not delete the track from the iPod.

See Option Two, I think it's the sort of thing you are after.
For Info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
