Hi, I do find it useful, as I have problem to do it myself. Questions: 1) what is the format of SD card? FAT16 - (can be max 4GB) or FAT32? I am using Gparted on VM Ubuntu, what are the flags - I set vboot and lba 2) do you need to hold the S2 button while powering BBB as described here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17834561/duplicating-identical-beaglebone-black-setups
or not as described here http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents 3) is there a sequense you need to copy extracted files into SD card or doesn't matter? So far nothing works for me. Can you share your way?
