One thing you can *sometimes* do is write the smaller image to the card, then use gPartEd (or similar) to increase it. -Adam

Hi,
Any easy way to resize a bootable image for SD card? There are ready Linux images for booting on Android devices, like MK802. The problem is, 1) sometimes you don't have a card for that size (say 4Gb image, 8Gb card) or 2) micro-SD card come in random sizes, so an image for 8Gb card can be some kbytes too long for a 8Gb card of another vendor.
I probably could mount the image, copy the contents and go over the process of creating a bootable image myself. But is there a way of doing it with a lesser effort?

Hi All,
Thanks everybody who replied. For the expanding case, Gparted worked. I was able to expand the Ubintu ARM image from "miniand" forum; turned out it had a small FAT boot partition and then / on ext4.
