Hi, Thank you very much for the info. I'm going to try it.

Asunto: Re: [Clonezilla-live] Boot using pxe and root via samba Definitely you can mount cifs during boot, check this: http://live.debian.net/other/manpages/live-initramfs.7.html ... netboot[=3Dnfs|cifs] This tells live-initramfs to perform a network mount. The parameter "nfsroot=3D" (with optional "nfsopts=3D"), should specify where is the location of the root filesystem. With no args, will try cifs first, and if it fails nfs. Good luck.
