My problem was that with Debian 13 I can only install DRBL using the
unstable branch. The project's effort is focused on Clonezilla Live and for
cases of mass deployments LITE is not functional.

The best solution to continue with a DRBL-like system is to install Debian
13 and configure dnsmasq using DNS, DHCP and TFTP. Logs enabled for dnsmasq.

The vmlinuz, initrd and filesystem.squashfs file are extracted from
Clonezilla Live.

A grub.cfg is composed and points to the 3 previous files with the
necessary parameters.

It uses the packages grub-efi-amd64-signed, shim-signed, and syslinux. To
copy your files and form the PXE boot for Secure Boot.

I have managed to configure the necessary infrastructure, deploy Clonezilla
Live on the clients so that it behaves in unicast restore clones, or a
simple Clonezilla Live where the client decides.
