    Hi Steven,

    How is it going?  Got a question for you.  When i created the "multiple custom -ocs" I was able to access Clonzilla at boot up through grub.  What I want to do is be able to access the first CloneZilla menu page without having to do that.   In other words, I want to load the program without having to boot into it.  Is that possible?

    Hi Troytown,
    I am doing well here. How about you?
    "want to load the program without having to boot into it." -> Did you mean you do not have to follow the steps, i.e. to do unattended restoring?
    Or?

    Steven.

    Hi Steven,

    Sorry I took so long to reply.  I'm been doing well and staying busy.

    What i mean is, is there a way to get to the menu screen without having to load the kernal?  In order to access and use Clonzilla you have to boot to it weather it be CD or USB to get to your functioning menu screen.  I want to be able to do that with out having to go through that process.  Maybe like run a ./sh from terminal that would start the program and take you right to the menu screen…  Is that possible?  Does my question make sense?

    Yes, it's possible, under these conditions:
    1. The machine is running a GNU/Linux, and it's listed as one of these distributions:
        http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/#3._Preamble
    2. The disk you want to save or restore should not be mounted.
    If all these conditions are met, then you can follow
    http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/
    to install drbl and configure on that machine. After that, you can run:
    /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla
    or
    /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-sr -x
    to start the clonezilla menu.

    Steven.
