I found that when trying to upgrade I didn't have any more additional memory than 300mb on a 32Gig USB.
Solution: Download a Gparted.iso and install on another USB and Boot that USB program. Plug in to another USB port the non-running Mofo operating system USB. Run the Gparted software and increase the size of the operating system size with the resize commands into the unallocated portion. The unallocated portion will decrease. Worked for me.

I found this doesn't work. you can't increase persistence in the memory on Mofo linux and so I switched to Kodachi linux.

Yes, you would need to either use a large casper-rw partition or do a full uncompressed install to a hard disk / SSD or other media. Calamares seems to work well. Also, there are ways to use rsync to clone the filesystem. Systemback is another software you could use.
