    Hello,

    I am using clonezilla for the first time. 

    while writing an image, it gave this output: 

    Clocksource tsc unstable

    I am wondering if this is cause for concern?  I am guessing that this is not a problem, but I want to check with you all to be sure.

    I am using clonezilla live, booted off of an ISO image I burned to a CD.  I am on a Dell Latitude D610 laptop with what I believe is good memory, 2GB of RAM.  I have connected an external 1GB USB drive to which I am dumping an image of the internal 40GB IDE hard drive.

    Here I am copying by hand the interesting parts of the output...  I am typing this by hand so I am leaving out the stuff [...] that doesn't look relevant...

    thanks for any advice!

      This is kernel message, actually it's not related to clonezilla imaging program.
      Therefore you can ignore that.

      Steven.
