#302 makeboot.sh script failure when dmidecode binary missing

[Clemmitt Sigler]

Hi,

This is the first time I've prepared a bootable Clonezilla Live USB flash memory stick. I ran tuxboot and it seemed to install successfully. But all I got was a "grub> " prompt, no boot-up.

I went back and ran "sudo bash ./makeboot.sh /dev/sdxn" by hand and got this error:

"./makeboot.sh: line 290: dev_model_shown: unbound variable"

The problem is there is no installed dmidecode program on my system used to create the boot stick. Here's a unified diff of my hack:

Thanks for this bug report. It's fixed in drbl 2.27.7 and will be used in the next testing Clonezilla live.
