[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live 1.2.3-24 released

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

Hi everybody,
We are happy to announce that clonezilla-live 1.2.3-24 is the new stable release. This release features some new functions, some new programs included, and some bugs were fixed.
 * The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2010/Jan/08). Linux kernel 2.6.32-4 is used. 
 * Updated partclone to 0.1.9-5, live-initramfs to 1.157.4-10drbl, syslinux to 3.84.
 * Pakcages wpasupplicant, bind9-host and cdrdao were added.
 * Language files were updated. Thanks to Juan Ramon Martinez, Alex Ibanez Lopez ,Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili, Annie Wei, Akira YOSHIYAMA and Zhiqiang Zhang.
 * New features:
   * A boot parameter ocs_live_run_tty was added. It is used to assign the tty to run ocs_live_run. By default tty1 is used.
   * An option to ignore CRC checking of partclone was added.
   * Now clonezilla live iso supports grub2 iso loopback boot. Check Clonezilla website for how to edit your grub2 config file for this function.
   * Boot menu is more compact now.
   * The Clonezilla theme of usplash was added. However, it's not on by default.  It can be turned on by adding "quiet splash" in the boot parameters.
   * The lspci results will be saved when saving an image. Thanks to Acty Chen for this idea.
 * Bugs fixed: 
   * The 2 instances of ocs_live_run running in tty1 and ttyS0 issue was fixed. Now by default ocs_live_run will only be run on tty1 only.  No more both on tty1 and ttyS0. If you want to use ttyS0, for example, add live-getty and console=ttyS0,38400n81 in the boot parameter. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/forums/forum/663168/topic/3499579.  Thanks to lukas666 for this bug report.
   * Boot parameter live-netdev was not working.
   * I386 version of OS running grub-install for the x86-64 restored OS was fixed. Thanks to John Ouzts <jouzts _at_ gmail com> and Lukasz I. <physik _at_ poczta onet pl> for tihs bug report.
   * A bug about using tar to create recovery Clonezilla live was fixed. Thanks to wellurs for this bug report.
   * A bug about scripts in $OCS_PRERUN_DIR won't run was fixed. Thanks to gsusterman for this bug report.
   * A bug about creating recovery iso/zip with images not in /home/partimag was fixed. Thanks to dersucker for this bug report.

Steven.
