I would like to use Clonezilla to replicate my config of a Dell Mini 9, but I can't boot it. Apparently there is a display problem: I boot on the USB stick, I can see the background of the menu, but no text. If I press ESC a couple of times, I see the bottom of the menu scrolling up and disappearing.
Did anyone succeed in starting clonezilla on this laptop?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, we had a Dell Mini 9 for evaluation and I tried Clonezilla from a USB pen.
This is what I found:
Current stable version 1.2.0-25 did not boot properly
Current testing version 1.2.1-9 booted OK but didn’t recognise the network interface card
Current experimental version 20081022-intrepid – worked very well
The versions have been updated since then but I think if you create a USB pen with the latest 'experimental' version of Clonezilla, you will be OK.
I hope that helps you.
