Re: [lubuntu-users] Bootable clone app for Lubuntu
I use Clonezilla Live CD too. This is the way to go, forget about installing it your Lubuntu you want to save... You can resize the partition after you have finished the cloning process (copied and restored). If you study how it works data allocation on Disks you will understand why all cloning tools have this limitation on not to be able to restore to different size partitions or disks...

Re: [lubuntu-users] Bootable clone app for Lubuntu
I may be way off base, but whenever I used Clonezilla I downloaded "Live" ,iso file from the Clonezilla site. I boot from that, and follow the prompts. I found Clonezilla very useful. But, one thing I never understood is why you have to restore to the same size (or larger) drive. Maybe that's common with any of the image tools. It seemed like a significant limitation to me. But, maybe I'm not understanding something about it. Mark On Sat, Jul 8, 2017 at 1:50 PM, Fritz Hudnut wrote: > Latest update, on the GUI app front . . .
