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?
