It creates an iso image of 14gb only. the dell has 64gb emmc ssd . it does not see it. I have tried Chrome flex os , mint anf q4 os. They all boot but lack disk space. I am running q4 os since it does not need much storage. Any way to get it on the 64gb ssd?

candy doesn’t have a 64GB eMMC unless you replaced the stock 16GB one.

if the boot menu is recognizing the device but not the OS, provide a dmesg log

I think you are correct. I thought it had 64gb ssd. It boots ok with Q4 OS trinity. No messages about out of disk space.

Thank you
