Mount a working IOT SD card
open gParted - - - (perhaps download a copy first!)
choose the SD disk drive
right click on the main Linux partition and choose "resize"
drag the end of the partition to 7.3 GByte or whatever.
Click the "do it" button
Close gParted
In terminal type
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/path/towhere/you/want/to save/IOT-playground-pi.img bs=10M
(or sdc sdd - what ever gParted calls the DD drive)
I wonder if a much smaller version of Linux for IOT Pi might go on a 4G card - no need for games etc?
Thanks for this great resource.
Even the ads are good these days

Thank you for instructions, but I do not own linux box, so I can not perform this commands. 4GB SD card became too small when I upgraded to RPI2. I bought 8GB SD just to create 8GB EasyIoT image file. I guess these days SD cards are cheap and even 16GB SD card is not big expense.
How dos it goes with a smaller image?
I just godt a power drop out, and know it will not boot, i need to do a fresh install again.
Is it posebel to make a cron job to make a backup to a nother computer.

You can backup config folder and EasyIoTDatabase.sqlite database with cron job.
