Question re Partitions/USB Drives/SDcards
Both Debian Live and debox (Debian on a One Laptop per Child laptop)
create a Debian system (kernel & apps) on a 2 Gb partition of a usb drive
or sdcard, actually using about half of that space. An incredible
achievement making the systems available when space is very constricted.
But what if you have say an 8 Gb drive or card?
It is apparently difficult to change partition sizes. The extra space
can be partitioned and used to store data but it is not possible to have
one large partition using all the available space? I used to create
separate partitions for /var, /usr and /home but was instructed to
create just one large root partition and let the subdirectories grow as
need be.
Is the 2 Gb partition dictated by some usb drive/sdcard contraint?
