Re: [Clonezilla-live] making a custon XP

[Bill G. <gu...@io...>]

My personal opinion is that this only makes sense for future virtual 
machine installations.  --NOT for restoration to "real" physical 
machines.  The reason is that there would be so many instances of 
hardware drivers that are needed and not present, it would be crazy 
trying to get everything working properly.  I think it would be less 
hassle on a "real" machine to simply do a new XP install!
