I am mildly familiar with unix and new to linux. therefore, some of the instructions I don't understand.
For instance, in the clonezilla instructions it says to log in as root to mount a drive. I type login and get a message saying you must exec login from the lowest level sh. Not sure what this means.
I'm not asking for a linux lesson, but can anyone point me to a free online source or quick reference that could help me out?
thanks alot,
Maureen

Did you mean "Clonezilla live" or "Clonezilla server edtion" ? Where is the instructions "it says to log in as root to mount a drive." you read ? Please show exactly the place so that we can improve that.

I am using Clonezilla live. I follow the instructions at Clonezilla.org and the part I am referring to is where it says expert mode and "If you want to MANUALLY mount clonezilla image home (/home/partimag), follow this:"
Forgive me please I made a mistake in the first post.
The reason I got to this part is because I get a message saying that no unmounted disks are found. At a command prompt I am trying to logon as sudo su to use umount to unmount /dev/hda or /dev/hda1 or both. Also, I tried to use fdisk to create a second partition. I change the display/entry units and take the defaults for an extended partition. I then try umount again and when I go back through clonezilla and choose the disk partition to disk partition option it tells me again that no unmounted disks are found.
I hope this is not too dumb of a question. If it takes up too much of your time, never mind but thank you for all your efforts!
Thanks again,
Maureen

The partition clonezilla wants to save must be unmounted, since clonezilla will "image" it based on used blocks.
As for /home/partimag, it's for you to save the image, so you can mount another device or network filesystem as /home/partimag.
Hope this makes sense for you.

Sorry for not being more clear.
