[Clonezilla-release] The Next Stable Clonezilla Live - 1.2.6-40

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

Clonezilla live 1.2.6-40 is planned as the next stable release on Nov 9, 
2010

This release of Clonezilla live (1.2.6-40) includes major enhancements, 
changes and bug fixes.
MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:

     * The shorter boot paramater "config" (was "live-config") is used 
now, because live build 2.0.1 or later uses that and live-config 
(>=2.0.7) honors both "config" and "live-config".
     * The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This 
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2010/Nov/06).
     * A better mechanism was implemented in ocs-live-run-menu so that 
we can put all in a line in boot parameter ocs_live_run without using 
ocs_live_extra_param.
     * Program ocs-live-restore was improved to make it allow shutdown 
the machine when using Clonezilla recovery iso/zip with "-p poweroff".
     * Linux kernel was updated to 2.6.32-27.
     * Partclone was updated to 0.2.16.
     * Syslinux/isolinux was updated to 4.03.
     * Live-boot was updated to 2.0.11-1.drbl1, and live-config was 
updated to 2.0.11-1.drbl1.

BUG FIXES

     * A bug about failing restoring swap partition on GPT disk. Thanks 
to Bill Marohn for this bug report.
     * Failed to run the command with "=" and "," in ocs_prerun. Thanks 
to Jacobo Vilella Vilahur for this bug report 
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=3081655&group_id=115473).
     * The "startpar: service(s) returned failure: x11-common ... 
failed" error was fixed.
     * DNS query was not working in initrd.
