But it was always my understanding that tmp's were cleaned out in the boot process. And thats not true either after observing stuff there that was not created during this uptime. Somebody here mentioned clonezilla. A synaptic search hit on drbl which claimed to include clonezilla in the description. But after installing it, and about 20 other dependencies, no such executable exists. One of its well buried subdirs looks like a full blown build tree, does it have to be built from the installed bits and pieces somehow? WTH?
