I have been using Clonezilla Live for some time and I would now like to try
using Clonezilla SE. I dowloaded the latest DRBL Live ISO
(drbl-live-xfce-1.0.2-46-i686.iso) and used tuxboot to put this on a USB
flash drive. I have used this flash drive to boot a spare PC. Once the GUI
comes up, I click on the Clonzilla Server icon to get things going. I
choose 'dhcp' to configure the network card. Since there is only one
network card, I choose 'Y' to the question "Do you want to lease IP
addresses to PXE/Etherboot clients only". The file that I want to send to
the clients is on a Windows file server, so I select the option to connect
to a samba server and provide all of the needed config. I next choose to
set the mode for "All" clients. I then go through setting up the Clonezilla
mode options and choose the image to restore. I select "multicast restore"
and "clients-to-wait" with 1 client. I eventually end up at a message that
says "DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW UNTIL CLIENTS FINISH THE CLONE!" at which
time I boot the PC via the network controller. The PC gets an IP address
(verified via 'cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases' on the DRBL Live server) and
begins booting the DRBL client. After the main splash screen some lines of
text scroll by and then things seem to stop. I've waited several minutes to
see if anything will happen, but nothing seems to be going on. When I press
'Enter' on the client PC I get a command prompt ('#') with a few commands
available. Am I supposed to run a command here to start the process? Have
I done something wrong? Both the DRBL server and the PC client are
connected to the same switch, so I hope that eliminates any potential
multicast issues for my test. Where should I begin troubleshooting?
Thanks!
