    Basically all I need to do is somehow rebuild the Clonezilla Live CD so that it will be directly into the network enabled clonezilla live environment and start the interactive shell a few steps in.  I need it to default to English and not offer to select a different language or keymap.  It needs to automatically go into restoredisk mode.  The first thing the user needs to do should be entering the password to mount a specific samba share through CIFS, then select an image.  If possible skip the target drive select screen (default to hda or sda, whichever exists) and the change restore options screen.

    I'm part of the engineering group within a support organization and I need a way to basically gut the superfluous steps from the CD for use by our onsite technicians, to make the usage procedure for the image restorations stupidly easy.  (automatically select options that will not change, unless my group changes them, so less could go wrong)

      Yes, you can try to use the clonezilla live in the testing branch,
      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115473&package_id=228422&release_id=520539
      From 1.0.3-19, you can use the command like
      /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -g en -k NONE -s -m ./custom-ocs
      to create your customized iso.
      You can find an example file for custom-ocs in /opt/drbl/samples/

      For more info, check
      /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -h

      Oops, I mean to boot the clonezilla live 1.0.3-19, then run the command ocs-iso. Definitely you need to mount a working space to save the image.

      So I tried customizing the file with some automatic settings and built an ISO with that command, but it just acted like a standard LiveCD when I put it in and went full interactive.

        You should post the steps and commands you run, otherwise it's not easier to know what's wrong.
