Hello I tried to use clonezilla.
While there are some bits of good software clonezilla fails epically at putting these pieces together so that they can be actually used. 1) everything is needlessly cryptic and there are virtually no docs - the docs (only a reference card) are in *downloads* section, there is no docs section at all - the FAQ has very little information on actually using the thing, only on resolving issues provided you are already using the thing - the scripts that are used to run the actual imaging use some tlas for a dozen of options interspersed with filenames spanning half the terminal line 2) the user-available options are lacking - I don't want to answer every time that it should use en_US.UTF-8 locale, no keyboard layout, and such junk. I can understand that this is important for people with odd locales but make it one choice at least, not three - gparted is not included which is according to some stfw results the only way to actually get the target drive partitioned sanely - there is no way to specify target partition sizes (except by restoring partitions one by one to a pre-partitioned drive) although the script can supposedly clone smaller disk to lager one resizing partitions proportionally so it must have partition resizing functionality included 3) the source is junk - there is only a makefile that copies some stuff to your system as far as I can read makefiles but does not build anything - there is no doc saying what you need to build and how to build - there is no index saying which file does what in the script directory with tens of cryptic scripts in there - there is no VCS. I can't believe the author does not use one. Thanks for making clonezilla. It tells me which 5 tools I will need if I wanted to clone a disk using free software. I guess I will have better luck adding them to my own d-l images than trying to figure out how clonezilla is supposed to be used, though.
