Resize sd card

How do I resize the sd card using puppy? I did it on Debian but it doesn't work the same with puppy.

Assuming you followed these steps, where did you run into issues?

Once I get to where I type d for delete it says bad command or file or something like that. It worked fine for me on Debian but puppy is different .

Sorry I haven't got another SD to try this out so I'm just shooting from the hip, but what is the partition table before you start deleting? Is there a swap partition that needs to be deleted or is it just a root partition? Just making sure you following the instructions reasoning and not just punching in numbers.

Can you show us the error you are receiving?

I'll post them when I get home tomorrow, thanks for helping.

These Puppys have a swap partition at the end of the 4 Gbyte. That needs to be deleted and remade at the end of the larger SD card before the Linux partition can be expanded. I've always used a separate PC with Gparted to do that so I have no experience of using fdisk under Puppy itself.

As it does sound as if things have to be done slightly different with Puppy, is there any chance please that some kind soul could write a 'step by step' description for us 'noobies' of how to do this using Gparted on another Linux PC?

Thanks!

Puppi setup on another computer . The Puppi image is for a 4 GB SD and I'm using 8 GB. How to use the rest? On another linux PC, Ubuntu is my choice:
sudo gparted
select the SD card, sdb in my case
Select the swap file and move it to the end of the SD
Select the 3+ GB file and resize it to the end of available space, in my case from 3+ GB to 7+ GB

Maybe that's all you need to do.

Now I selected the first partition on tthe SD card and did
gedit config.txt
my problem is the image went past the borders of the TV
Delete the # in front of the overscans
I changed left and right overscans to 20 and the top and bottom to 16. Should be a bit more the desktop still spills over the edge of the TV. It's a Coby 15" wide screen 16:9 ratio and runs at 1366x768, bought on sale from Wallmart at $80.

Now I also overclock so I added
arm_freq=900
core_freq=450
sdram_freq=450
which from the forums runs the Pi at 900 mHz seems to work for many Pi boards.
Save.
Now anther part, I changed the memory split to 192/32 by taking a Debian Pi SD card and copying the file start19232.elf file to start.elf on the puppy first partition replacing the start.elf.

Having done all that you wind up with a Puppy linux which is a fairly full featured linux designed to be conservative on memory use.
It does use Chromium for a browser, big and slow, features HTML5 which will do youtube video's
v e r y s l o w on the Pi, I would say unusable.

Now I do a lot of internet and happen to prefer Debian using Midori for that, (no you tube video) but I do intend to try various Pi operating systems. Maybe Firefox OS next year, maybe there'll be another Pi by then. Wishful thinking.
