Re: [Clonezilla-live] 'Upgrade' windows systems with clonezilla?

[Les M. <les...@gm...>]

Thanks for the response, but these run in the context of the linux
clonezilla-live system don't they?   I was hoping someone would have
examples or pointers to documentation showing how to set the IP,
netmask and gateway on the freshly cloned disk with a windows 2008 OS,
and in particular how to tie them to the correct NIC where the machine
may have several.   Or, if this can't be done from a linux script, is
there some way to include a program that runs at first boot on a
windows image?  (And in that case I still need to find the commands to
make the settings in a script).
