How to set up auto filesystem expansion for custom PI images

	How to set up auto filesystem expansion for custom PI images
	============================================================

	Preamble
	========
	When a custom pi image is created, it is a good idea to expand the FS so that all the space on the SD card is used. This is done manaully using the raspi-config tool or raspi-config --expand-rootfs.
	The official pi images expand the FS automatically so it would be nice to replicate this process for custom images.
	The procedure below shows how to do this.

Default ANSI Colours for MobaXterm and Putty

	The default ANSI colours are much nicer in MobaXterm (imho) as I find the putty colours a little too dark.
	To replicate MobaXterm colours in putty here are the RGB settings.
	The default putty ANSI colours are here in case you want to revert back ;)

	My preferred font is consolas 9pt cleartype.
