I'm using clonezilla lite-server (20230608-lunar) to do a massive
deployment of an UEFI Linux image using BitTorrent.
I do not want the clonezilla lite-client to regenerate the initramfs,
reinstall any bootloader or make any changes to the UEFI boot order.
By default, the lite-client assumes that it was network-booted by a
drbl server (which is wrong, I was using lite-server) and changes the
UEFI boot order to network boot first. I tried to prevent this
behavior by using advanced mode and selecting -ssnf. However that
results in the error: "/usr/sbin/ocs-live-feed-img: -ssnf: invalid
option".
I was able to circumvent that problem with -iefi.
However if someone wanted to have the lite-client restore the boot
order but NOT put network boot first, that's currenty impossible.
The same thing happens with -iui: It's not implemented by
ocs-live-feed-img, but the lite-client still chroots and regenerates
the initramfs.
Currently there seems to be no way to stop it from doing so.
In any case, the user shouldn't be able to select advanced options
that are not supported by lite-server.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Please give testing Clonezilla live >= 3.1.1-7 or 20230706-* a try: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
This issue should have been fixed.
Please let us know the results. Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback. We will try to implement that recently.
