    Using the guide for making an ISO image I started with:

    /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -g en_US.UTF-8 -t -k NONE -e "-g auto -b -c restoredisk sarge-image hda" sarge-image

    and based on what I do to make a clone I ended up with:

    /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -l 0 -t -k NONE -s -e "-t1 -p true restoredisk "comp2image" "sda sdb""

    This generates an ISO but it gets to a point during the boot of the CD where it trys to apply the options in double quotes to running clonezilla and fails.

    I was expecting the -e "   " stuff to be feed into ocs-sr.

    What do I have wrong?

    Thanks,

    Kevin Fehr

      /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -l 0 -t -k NONE -s -e "-t1 -p true restoredisk "comp2image" "sda sdb""
      The above is not accepted by ocs-iso. You have to run it like:
      /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -l 0 -t -k NONE -s -e "-t1 -p true restoredisk comp2image sda sdb" comp2image

      If any problem, please let me know.

      Steve,

      Thanks for the hint, but the same results.

      The resultant iso ran /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla with the option -t1.

        "The resultant iso ran /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla with the option -t1."
        Sorry, I do not understand this. Could you please describe more ?
        Thanks.

        Steven.

      My understanding from the documentation is the line:

      /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -l 0 -t -k NONE -s -e "-t1 -p true restoredisk comp2image sda sdb" comp2image

      Will parse out such that the iso image will use the following parameters in generating the framework that then calls ocs-sr:

      -l 0 -t -k NONE -s

      When ocs-sr is called the parameters in the " " will be fed in to control the ocs-sr behaviour:

      -e "-t1 -p true restoredisk comp2image sda sdb"

      What I have experienced is the parameters in the quotes end up being passed to the executable /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla.

      Since the parameter -t1 is not correct for the clonezilla executable the process stops and clonezilla prints out the help screen.

      I tried looking up an overview of the processes that go on with the disk, but I could not find anything.  I have looked at the various scripts, but that is too much of an effort for the time I have.

      My ultimate goal is to make a simplified CD (or USB hard disk) that will minimize the options presented to a user.  I feel so close but not quite able to get there.  I feel like there is some bit of documentation on the processes that would answer all my questions, but I just have not found it.

      Thanks,

      Kevin

      Which version of Clonezilla live are you using ? Did you create such a customized iso in Clonezilla live environment or Clonezilla SE environment ?
