I have LL on a 8GB stick using Unetbootin. It has many programs installed. Have done the usual trick of deleting the casper-rw file, resizing and making an ext2 partition labeled casper-rw for persistence. According to gparted the size of the stick is 7.45GiB with 5.28Gib used and 2.17Gib unused.
Used DD to copy to a 16Gb stick which successfully cloned the 8Gb stick breaking it into a 8Gb partition and an 8Gb unallocated partition. I want to increase the persistence to use all the 16Gb stick, i.e. the unallocated partition, but retaining the installed progs.
Initially, I deleted the casper-rw file and reduced the OS to a minimum. This of course removed all the installed programs leaving just the OS.
Could anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might go about achieving this. Tks!
