Re: [Clonezilla-server-edition] Clonezilla SE (DRBL Live)

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

Hi Paul,
I will try to have one recently to see if the unfs3 issue still exists 
or not.
For the time being, you can try (in a machine with RAM >= 1 GB):
1. Boot drbl-live-xfce-1.0.2-46
2. Configure the network to connect to internet
3. In the command line prompt, run:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install drbl clonezilla partclone
    sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-ocs-live-prep -i 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/clonezilla/clonezilla-live-1.2.8-23-i686.iso

Ref: http://clonezilla.org/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php

Then you can use it as normal case, i.e. double clicks on the Clonezilla 
SE icon to start it.

If you encounter any problem, please let me know.

Steven.
