Clonezilla Live assumes that your network interface is to be configured through dhcp (auto IP assignment). This is easy to see in /etc/network/interfaces
+ +auto lo
+iface lo inet loopback
+
+auto eth0
+iface eth0 inet dhcp
In case you have to assign the IP by hand, you have to edit this file and add the relevant info. Assuming that the IP to be used would be 10.0.0.5, file /etc/network/interfaces would become:
+ +auto lo
+iface lo inet loopback
+
+auto eth0
+iface eth0 inet static
+ address 10.0.0.5
+ netmask 255.255.255.0
+ network 10.0.0.0
+ broadcast 10.0.0.255
+ gateway 10.0.0.1
Then, all that's left is to restart the network services, by execuitng the command:
+ +/etc/init.d/networking restart
+ +If you're fine with US keymap and English language (available languages are English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Chinese [both simplified and traditional]) or don't mind editing the boot parameters, just select Clonezilla Live at the starting screen and press ENTER. When the system comes up, it will load the program that will preform the backup.
