The question must've been asked dozens of times, but I have no idea how
to find the answer...

I have 4 PiCorePlayer devices at home: three on Pi Zero W, one on Pi 2
(if I remember correctly). They are generally running version 4.0.0 (one
is on 3.5.0, as I just noticed). But unfortunately, the insitu update
never works for me. The errors are the same on each device - no space on
SD (despite first showing, that there IS space available).

Here's what I am doing:
- Open the pCP page in browser, click 'Update pCP' button.
- pCP downloads the update script, I select Standard Version, 6.0.0, and
click Next.
- Steps 4A and 4B are completed correctly:

Code:

- But I fail on Step 5 - installation, with error message of 'Error

I tried Resizing Fs,but it's telling me I only have 5MB free.
