No. Clonezilla won't change that.
It just clones them.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your answer.

Ok. Would it not possible to have an option so that the cloned machines
calculates a new UUID and then CloneZilla modify the UUID in fstab and grub ?

A bit like the ability to change the hostname of the Windows PC machine automatically.

Thanks.

"possible to have an option so that the cloned machines

If you find it's working very well, please send us the script you developed. That would be faster. Otherwise too many functions we have to developed...
As for changing the MS hostname automatically, actually in the expert mode, there are two options "-hn0" or "-hn1" you could try.
For changing GNU/Linux host name, no options. As mentioned, if you have a script and it's working well, please share with us.

  Hi Steven,
  
  First, sorry for the delay in replying. I was on holidays.
  
  Re sorry, but I'm not a programmer. So I'll let you choose another person to develop scripts.
  
  Thank you.
