Thanks Larry. Those scripts should help a lot.

It will copy everything including the card's formatting information. Howerer, if you back up to a larger card, it will end up the same usable size as the original card. You have to use gparted or something similar to expand the new file system.

If I use an image maker like Balena Etcher to make an image from my Pi SDcard, will it copy everything on the card or only the operating system?

I make so many errors it would be nice not to go back to square one each time. I would like to have both the operating system and my files on a backuo SDcard.

Hi Nigel

Does this work on the Pi 4B+ 8GB also? I am thinking of migrating from my old laptop

I use for home use, which has a 500GB SSD courently and it would be nice to keep a

near like but more up to date replacement.

You don't. It does it all by itself, as if by magic.

Remember that a Pi 400 will boot from an external USB drive so as small USB SSD works fine. I'm using the Samsung T7 model MU-PC500R. It's 500GB for around 80USD.

Is it a good and workable idea? I would use mainly Quisk, JS8Call, WSJTX and fldigi and guess I should load Linux Debian softwares. Can this softwares be easily loaded in the Pi-400? With what amount of memory for the micro-SD card?

I presume your search was performed visually.

The Linux operating system has a find command that will walk filesystems
searching for a file name provided to it a one of the required arguments.

Here's a suggested command you might try:

find / -name WSJT-X\* 2>/dev/null

^ Send error messages to the bit bucket
^ The (prefix of the) file name to find
^ The directory in which to begin searching
^ The find command

I've attached a few find shell scripts I've found useful over the years.

Do the following

sudo apt install synaptic?

After installing, synaptic will show in your preferences drop down menu click it on and go to its amateur radio programs. Most ham programs for the pi are there, including a ham radio menu item that provides a menu and puts all your ham programs there.?

Your Pi doesn't have .exe files. That's a Windows peculiarity.

Hello John,

Clicking the Raspberry Pi icon in the upper left hand corner of the display
reveals the drop-down menu. Click the Preferences icon (third from bottom),
and chose Main Menu Editor from the fly-out menu. The user interface is
pretty intuitive. I'm sure you can take it from there.

Best regards,
Larry

Using a Pi4b with PiOS (Raspbian).? I want to add additional icons on the drop down Menu and be able to click on those icons to launch programs.

All suggestions are welcome.
