    Ive been using clonezilla live to backup/restore windows ntfs partitions, Its been working flawlessly for me.  Thanks for the Great Software!

    When I tell clonezilla live to make a bootable ISO with 'image' built in, it always downloads 2 files from the internet:
    DEBIAN-LIVE-FOR-OCS.ISO
    UNIFONT.BGF

    Can I add these to the clonezilla live disk, so it doesnt need to download everytime?

    Secondly, Id like to be able to write the ISO file to dvd from within clonezilla.  Is there a way I could add more software, namely, growisofs.  Will this allow me to write ISO to dvd from within clonezilla?

    Thanks again for the Great Software.

      Yes, definitely. Just put these two files (debian-live-for-ocs.iso and unifont.bgf) in your working directory when you run ocs-iso, then ocs-iso won't download it again.
      As for growisofs, yes, it's already in
      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115473&package_id=233347&release_id=573850
      or
      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115473&package_id=228422&release_id=573854

      Enjoy.

      Thanks for the reply.  I am now using the version you linked above. clonezilla-live-1.0.9-7

      I entered the command:
      growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=16 -Z /dev/hdc=IMAGENAME.iso

      Its working perfect for me!  I love clonezilla live!

      About the 2 files clonezilla-live needs to download before making an ISO image.
      I noticed UNIFONT.BGF is already on the clonezilla-live-1.0.9-7.iso, in the \PKG\ directory.
      So I also added DEBIAN-LIVE-FOR-OCS.ISO to the same directory.

      Now, when running clonezilla-live, I enter these commands:

      cp /live-media/pkg/unifont.bgf /home/partimag
      cp /live-media/pkg/debian-live-for-ocs.iso /home/partimag

      then:
      /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -g en -t -k NONE -e "-b -c restoreparts IMAGENAME sda1" IMAGENAME

      Ok, now it no longer needs to download those files. :)

      Question: why isn't debian-live-for-ocs.iso included with clonezilla-live?

      Again, BIG THANKS for the Great Software!!!
      :D

        > Question: why isn't debian-live-for-ocs.iso included with clonezilla-live?
        It's because the debian-live-for-ocs.iso is expanded and used in Clonezilla live. Of course, you can try to convert the existing clonezilla live iso to debian-live-for-ocs.iso.
