[Clonezilla-live] Certaing a custom build of clonezilla-live-1.2.2-31?

[Michael M. <mo...@zm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a custom build of clonezilla-live-1.2.2-31.  I
found the FAQ entry here informative, but ultimately it failed me:

http://drbl.sourceforge.net/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/46_create_clonezilla_live_from_scratch.faq#46_create_clonezilla_live_from_scratch.faq

What I'm ultimately trying to accomplish is to create an exact copy of
1.2.2-31 with the addition of a few custom packages.   I booted the
1.2.2-31 LiveCD in VMWare and partitioned the raw disk with a single
partition, sda1.  I created reiserfs on it before proceeding with the
steps documented in the FAQ above.

Step 6 in the FAQ states that I should edit /opt/drbl/conf/drbl.conf and
add my required dependencies to PKG_FROM_DBN_WHICH_OCS_LIVE_NEED, which
I did.  I then edited /opt/drbl/setup/files/ocs/live-hook/ocs-live-hook
and added a few lines near the end to install some custom-built debs
from /live-hook-dir in the chroot.  So far, so good.

Next I tried to build a new image, as documented:
  create-debian-live -d lenny -i zmanda -l t

This also worked, so I created the Clonezilla ISO from the debian-live
ISO with ocs-iso.  Then I tried to boot the newly minted ISO image in
another VMWare virtual machine, but this failed.  It looks like the
package selection is completely different from the 1.2.2-31 release on
sourceforge; for one thing, the kernel image is much older
(2.6.26-2-486) and the boot fails early on in the initramfs (before the
squashfs is mounted).

Are there any documented solutions for building production versions of
Clonezilla with a few minimal modifications?

Thanks,
Mike
