[Clonezilla-release] Clonezilla live 1.2.0-25 (stable) released

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

It's time to have another stable Clonezilla live. The major changes and
improvement in this release are the PXE booting of Clonezilla live, and
a menu to create a recovery CD or USB flash drive file was added.
Here the release notes for Clonezilla live 1.2.0-25:
New features or updates:
- The function to create a recovery iso/zip was added in the menu.
- All the Clonezilla-related files are in file system.squashfs now.
Therefore it's easier to be used in PXE server.
- For PXE booting, now Clonezilla live supports
fetch=tftp://$IP/filesystem.squashfs or any other method which live
initramfs supports (http, ftp...). For more info about PXE booting
Clonezilla live, refer to
http://www.clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/livepxe.php
- Now we can assign the clonezilla live parameters (ocs_live_run,
ocs_live_extra_param, ocs_live_keymap, ocs_live_batch and ocs_lang) in
kernel parameters.
- Some debian extra modules (atl2...) were added. Therefore Eee PC
network card is supported now.
- FAT12 is supported by partclone.
- Now we can boot clonezilla live to create debian live template.
- Language files fr_FR was updated. Thanks to Jean-Francois Nifenecker.
- Language files ja_JP.UTF-8 was updated. Thanks to Annie Wei.
- Newer kernel 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.5.
- New upstream ntfs-3g 1.2531.
- live-initramfs was updated based on 1.139.
- Packages traceroute and iputils-ping were added.
- A package davfs2 was added so that webdav device can be mounted as
Clonezilla image repository manually.
- Default to use VGA 1024x768 for Clonezilla live. Thanks to Scott
Ochiltree for this suggestion.
- "ocs-debug" can be used as a kernel parameter to enter command line
prompt before starting any Clonezilla action.
- create-cciss-mapping now supports /dev/cciss/, /dev/ida/, and /dev/rd/.
- An example was added (/opt/drbl/samples/custom-ocs-1), which can be
used to restore an image from samba server.
- Syslinux 3.71 is used now. ///NOTE/// If you want to create a bootable
USB flash drive for this version or later, remember to use the syslinux
command from syslinux 3.71 or later. Otherwise the boot menu won't work.
- The supported locales (en_US, zh_TW, ja_JP, fr_FR) will be kept in the
created iso/zip, it's not necessary to be generated before running
clonezilla live.
- By default we use jfbterm instead of bterm for showing Chinese and
Japanese fonts.

Bugs fixed:
- create-ocs-tmp-img will put the converted image in /tmp so it won't
fail in readonly filesystem (e.g. CD) or FAT-based filesystem (e.g. samba).
- Suppress MD starting failure messages in DRBL/Clonezilla live. Thanks
to Scott Ochiltree for this suggestion.
- create-ocs-tmp-img will put the converted image in /tmp so it won't
fail in readonly filesystem (e.g. CD) or FAT-based filesystem (e.g. samba).
- option -q2 failed to use partclone to save hfs+ partition.
- uncompressed partclone image was not able to be identified before
being restored.
- partclone failed to restore FAT image.
- ocs-get-part-info should tell if the vfat is fat12 or not.
- Some other minor bugs fixed and improvements.
