I've got a 4gb Raspberry Pi4, official power supply, attached monitor, keyboard and mouse, 128gb Kingston high endurance SD card formatted Fat32, downloaded, extracted and copied open plotter_v1.0.0_noobs onto it, then inserted the card into the Pi and powered up. Red light for power on right away and green light for SD card activity flashing. So far so good, looked just like the Rasbian noobs install I did earlier using a 16gb card. That install completed successfully in about 15 minutes and I had a working install.
But rather than just continuing and installing OpenCPN and plugins from there, I decided that a larger card and the OpenPlotter distribution would be a better starting point.
However, it's been 20 hours of continuous SD card activity and no other indication that there's been any progress with the install. Is this right and I just need to wait longer? Is it because of the large SD card?
Or is this wrong? How do I interrupt the SD activity and power down the Raspberry without damaging anything? Or do I just need to pull the power and hope everything stays OK?
