Re: [Clonezilla-live] Great software! Have a couple questions though.

Hi Ryan,
Yes, part of the function you need exists in the testing clonezilla
live, check
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=691656
...
3. An iso with restoring image builtin can be created in Clonezilla
live. For example,
(a) Boot Clonezilla live,
(b) Choose to mount the clonezilla home image, which is writable
(c) Do not save or restore, just exit to shell,
(d) Change to working directory, Ex. cd /home/partimag/
(e) For the time being, use the testing debian-live-for-ocs template,
you can download it by "wget
http://opensource.nchc.org.tw/clonezilla-live/template-iso/testing/debian-live-for-ocs.iso";
in the working directory.
(f) Use ocs-iso to create that by something like (Assume clonezilla
image sarge-r5 is in clonezilla home image):
/opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso sarge-r5
For unattended mode (Only confirmation in the beginning):
/opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -g en -t -k NONE -e "-b -c restoredisk sarge-r5
hda" sarge-r5

Therefore by modifying some script in clonezila live, I think you can
make it based on the above idea.

Good luck.

Regards,
Steven.
