Screen "Configuring console-data" [^]- +I select "Select keymap from full list" and press ENTER. If you're using US keymap, the default option "Don't touch keymap" is a better choice. +Screen "Configuring console-data" [^]
Screen "Start Clonezilla" [^]- +Because I haven't changed my keyboard, I select "pc / qwerty / Finnish / Standard / Standard". Because you most likely use a different keyboard, choose the one you use. +Screen "Start Clonezilla" [^]

Screen "Mount clonezilla image directory" [^]- -In this screen I can select the way the image file directory has been saved.

Next Screen [^]- +In this screen I select the image folder. This partition contains only one image. +Next Screen [^]
Next Screen [^]- +Now I am asked to select which disk the image will be restored to, if the recovery disc is used. Because this image is a backup, I choose the same disk where the original data resides. If you're upgrading your hard drive, choose the new drive. +Next Screen [^]
Next Screen [^]- +In this screen I can select the language that the recovery disc uses. I choose "en_US.UTF-8". +Next Screen [^]
Next Screen [^]- +This screen allows me to select the keymap that the recovery disc uses. Unfortunately, changing the keymap requires knowing where the keymap file resides in Debian GNU/Linux. Because I don't know it, I just press ENTER to accept US keymap. +Next Screen [^]
Screen "Customization section" [^]- +Due to limitations of mkisofs, the script can't create a ISO file which is over 4,5 gigabytes in size. It causes problems if the size of your image is over 4,4 gigabytes. Clonezilla-SysRescCD contains a workaround that creates a ISO file that contains no image, so you can add the image manually later. This dialog asks if you want to do so. Note that if you see this dialog, you most likely need a dual layer DVD+R or Blu-ray disc to burn the image. Growisofs doesn't support multisession burning on dual layer DVD-R discs, so such disc can't be used either. +Screen "Customization section" [^]
Screen "DVD Title" [^]- +Now I am asked if I want to customize the boot menu of the disc. I answer "Yes". If you don't want to customize the menu, continue from this step. +Screen "DVD Title" [^]
Screen "Menu Items Caption" [^]- +In this screen I select the title of the boot menu. I type "Home PC Restore DVD". +Screen "Menu Items Caption" [^]
Screen "Boot delay" [^]- +This screen allows me to select the caption for all menu items. I enter "Restore Win XP". +Screen "Boot delay" [^]
Screen "Default Boot Item" [^]- +I press ENTER to accept the default delay of 30 seconds. It means that when a computer is booted from the restore disc, it waits 30 seconds before choosing the default option automatically. You may want to reduce this delay if, for example, your keyboard doesn't work in boot menu and you must wait until the delay ends. +Screen "Default Boot Item" [^]
Screen "Boot Screen Image" [^]- +In this screen I can select the default option of the menu. Selecting one of the options that restore the image makes using the disc even easier, but also raises the risk that the image is restored accidentally. Another reason to select such option may be that your keyboard doesn't work in boot menu, preventing you from choosing any non-default option. I select the first option that restores the image using pixel dimensions of 1024*768. +Screen "Boot Screen Image" [^]
Screen "ISO Label" [^]- +This screen allows me to select the background picture of the menu. Note that the picture must be in the same partition that contains the disk image, if you don't mind entering command line and mounting the right partition manually. I choose picture mysplash.png in the root of the partition. Because the partition has been mounted in /home/partimag, the full path of the picture is /home/partimag/mysplash.png. +Screen "ISO Label" [^]
Screen "Publisher ID" [^]- +In this screen I can select the volume label of the disc. Volume label is the name of the disc you may see in various situations, for example in the notification you see when you insert the disc into your DVD writer. I type "Backup_52-2009_hdb". +Screen "Publisher ID" [^]
Starting the creation of the disk image [^]- +This is where I choose the publisher ID of the ISO file and the disc. Publisher ID means the person or company who created the disc. However, at least in GNU/Linux reading the publisher ID is, strictly speaking, a challenge. Here are instructions to read the publisher ID of a ISO file. I didn't find any working instructions to read the ID from the disc. +Starting the creation of the disk image [^]
+ + + +If you have above enabled the workaround to create a ISO file without any image, you get the info screen, which explains the actions to be taken in order to burn the ISO file and add the iamge file to the DVD. A script file is also saved as /tmp/burnISO. + + +When the disk image is successfully created, I must reboot in order to burn the disc because my DVD burner is still in use. Clonezilla Live can be loaded into computer memory during boot in order to be able to burn disc(s) within it. However, due to a known bug, the disk image can't be created if Clonezilla Live has been loaded into memory. (source) Thus, I press 1 and ENTER to reboot to another operating system and burn the image using graphical burning program. For instructions, follow one of these links: + +If the ISO file contains the disk image +If the ISO file contains no image +If you've created a ZIP file What to do with the disk image [^]The previous page contains partial instructions to create an automated recovery DVD. They're partial because they only tell how the disk image can be created, not what one should do with the image. Of course, partial instructions are not enough, but don't worry - this page is the other part. Choosing the column [^]If you're accustomed to graphical environment, choose Graphical Environment. In Graphical Environment you're able to use graphical programs, like GParted and Mozilla Firefox. Terminals are also available, so using Graphical Environment doesn't prevent using command line. The only negative thing of Graphical Environment is that it slows booting process down a bit - and it's often just plain unneeded. Choosing the row (kernel) [^]After having chosen the column of the above table, you still have three options. Now you need to choose the kernel. This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. |
