So you have a pCP install on a 8gb card, and the FS has been expanded to 500Mb, the copy is 500 Mb and will burn to a 4gb card at that size. Using Windows it is best to always type in the .img when filling in the Image File box. If one has a copy of Raspbian Desktop on a SD card (and why not ?) there is PiShrink https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink which will reduce the size of a copied or cloned image. So, using the previous example of a 8gb card that has been fully expanded, PiShrink will reduce that to a minimum size. One needs a spare usb stick or card reader for this. Hope this helps:) ronnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111787 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
