Hi Michael,
Thanks for providing such an image for me to test. However, I can _NOT_
reproduce the problem here... It just works here. Very weird... I
attached a screen copy/paste file which contains the whole process I
have done.
The VMware I tested here is Workstation 6.5.3 build-185404, 32-bit
version. I use Clonezilla live 1.2.2-31 to test it here.
Basically I use most of the default settings, I only different I did is
to save the image on the NFS server. Maybe that's different to yours?
Where did you save the image to?
Steven.
