Re: [Clonezilla-live] What about IP address when cloning ?

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

Hi,
It's possible to write a script to modify this after Clonezilla restores 
the image for you. Clonezilla provides an option "-o1" to let you run 
the script in the dir /opt/drbl/share/ocs/postrun/.
The script depends on the GNU/Linux distribution...
