But the SD card can't handle the image. As a practical matter--real-world
experience--the short copies result in a non-booting image.
I bought 32GB cards so I had no issues regardless of what the ISO
said.
It doesn't matter; if two 32GB cards, with the image on the source
expanded to use the entire card, don't have either identical or larger
destination raw capacity, the same problem will surface.
