Hi all, I'm looking for a cloning solution for our Windows/Linux/*nix computer park and ran into Clonezilla. Apparantely the DRBL and other documentation mentions CentOS as a suitable base for it. Does anybody on this list use this solution and can say something about it in the running-Clonezilla-with-CentOS-context, be it recommendations, gotchas', warnings or whatever? Thanks. -- BW,

Hi, I wanted to set up Clonezilla Tools on my client machine via PXE Boot. How do I do it. I got information from the web, but after making changes in the dhcpd.conf file, the dhcpd fails to start. In the BIOS after enabling the PXE Boot, iam not able to see an Clonezilla menu options that i have placed in /pxelinux.cfg file. Iam using centos-5.3 on Intel Board Please provide me with some

Does anyone have any good how-to's or documentation on setting up read only root NFS for pxe booting diskless computers? A few months ago I stumbled upon an official Redhat doc through a google search(not hosted by redhat and I cannot find it anywhere on the Redhat site) written by Dave Kline named "Configuring diskless clients with Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from 2011. It seemed to

Hi, I want to install customized centos on multiple systems. Can PXE boot do that ? Apart from this is there any other way of doing image copy of centos OS and installing it on several client machines through network. I used clonezilla, but after image cloning, i will again have to use the clonezilla LIVE CD on client machine to do a image restore. I want to make a clone of centos OS and

This is the best collection of minds I can think of on this topic, that's why it is on this list. I think it is too subjective for stackoverflow. So here is the problem: The community center has multiple computers for the children (and adult students) to use. These computer are always donated and the hardware is all different. Currently the systems are running Windows (but this may change).

I'm trying to install IMA (http://linux-ima.sourceforge.net/) on CentOS 5.5, but the shipped kernel does not support it. One solution is to install a 2.6.30 kernel, but I don't really like this idea. Does anybody has tried to install it? Regards, Andreas

Hello, We are having problems booting disk images and are looking for a little help. Here is the screen capture of what we see: http://www.kmaclub.com/syslinux/largefloppy.png We have also tried using images from http://severinterrier.free.fr/Boot/ImgBoot/ with a similar result. Basically, memdisk loads the images and then it hangs. label linux kernel memdisk append

Is there a standard way of copying a working system from one machine to another with different partitions? I have two CentOS-5.6 machines, say A and B, and I thought I would copy / on sdb10 on machine A to an unused partition sda7 on machine B with rsync. I made the appropriate changes to /etc/fstab and grub.conf , as well as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts , but found that there were innumerable

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with G4U (Ghost for Unix), a small cloning application sending disk images to an FTP server. The application reads the whole disk bit by bit, compresses it and then stores it remotely. Due to this approach, it's more or less filesystem-independent. The drawback is that it sometimes results in huge image files. Now I'm currently following a hint

Does someone know where I could get my hands on an ima that's larger than 2.88meg... I use winimage for all my ima's and stuff but i'm having trouble configuring a custom size. If anyone has a large ima I could utilize that would be great, preferably one fitting this memdisk supported size: 3,932,160 bytes (3840K) c=80 h=2 s=48 3.5" DSED (extended) If not instructions on making

Using VM's was a suggestion I put forward but some of our staff didn't like the idea! We can't virtualise Windows as we run many CAD and Media app's that require high end graphics card utilisation. The Linux image is mainly used for coding type activities and so virtualising that would seem sensible - unfortunately that is not my call.. Regards Darren Williams -----Original

Hi, I'm running a small Linux consulting business here in a group of small villages in the South of France (http://www.microlinux.fr). I'm using CentOS for everything, servers as well as desktops. The desktop installs are usually highly customized. My approach is to list the client's needs, find the corresponding applications and then install these, to avoid the bloat and

I am building three identical systems. Well they will have different host names, and with time the software setups will drift. But at install time they are identical. Is there some way, (with dd I might guess) to do a hardare level copy? All three drives are Hitachi DK23DA-40F (40Gb). Supposedly factory reconditioned (they are in sealed bags with a drive sticker stating: "Refurbished

Hi, bit of a newbie if I'm honest but was wondering if issue mentioned here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-October/007586.html was ever fixed? basically I have the same issue with the same machine. I have 4 different types of PC's here that i'm trying to boot by USB stick. It works fine on 3 of them, but on the 4th, A HP/Compaq dx2200 MT, memdisk will not boot the .ima

Hi, I want to setup a central installation server, but haven't done this before, so I want to find out what would be best practices for this? The server I have already runs as a central repo, which is updated from one or our local centos mirrors, and the other CentOS servers (both i386 & x64), as well as CentOS VPS's get their updates from this server. But, now I want to allow a

He Everyone, We found out that till version 3.02 the Yukon nic is supported after it gives code errors, i'm working a lot with ehtherboot via drbl / clonezilla, and together with Steven Shiau we ask you guys if you can arrange that the Yukon can be supported again. Our thanx in advance. Dave & Steven

Hi all, I would really appreciate feedback on the graphical menu system and its infrastructure. It's not really clear to me that it's what people want; it seems to me that it makes more sense than gfxboot, for example (C rather than pseudo-Forth), but I can understand people would disagree. Anyway, the more feedback I get the easier it will be to pick a direction and a priority for

Hello all, i've spent the last week trying to find something that will clone my existing Centos server to a more powerful box. i've used clonezilla though that resulted in a complete failure.. can anyone please guide me in the right direction? all i want to do is to clone my entire server and all of it's directories to a more powerful server so i start using it instead.. i dont want
