An alternative would be using 'fsarchiver' (http://www.fsarchiver.org/),
which can save partitions and restore them to smaller ones.
Backup (assuming boot is on sdb1, and root on sdb2)
Code:
fsarchiver savefs -Z 18 -j 4 rpi3-rootfs.fsa /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2

Those steps worked a treat. First I set up a VM with Ubuntu desktop
18.04. Then I tried the 'truncate' command to see if I could fit the
image onto my stingy 2GB stick (actually 1.9GB). The truncate worked
perfectly, but the image was still a frustrating 4.19MB too big. So
then I shrank the t

I made a new USB stick from the image I'd made from following those

If you look at the screen shots you can see the occupied part of the
root partition is a different colour and the used and unused size is
also noted.
On Windows the latest version of Win32 lets one back up only the used
part of the partition.
Using piShrink, the size of the image is reduce to
Thanks guys. It's that step to shave off the unused space that I was
looking for - that will enable me to make sure that my modified image
doesn't keep growing just because it's being produced from a bigger USB
stick. But the bit about shrinking the partitions could also be useful,

That's neat. I'll follow that sometime.
I do think that sometimes the install itself on the joggler is a bit
flaky (or it might depend on the order in which one does things, I don't
know).
For instance, over the week -end I tried putting a light Desktop on the
base image.
