[Clonezilla-live] run script on cz box

2008-10-06 Thread Carl Karsten
Now that I can ssh to the box with ease (thanks a lot for that) I wrote a script that touches up things. Took some doing to figure out how to make the whole process as simple as running a script, (not wget/chmod/run, just run) so I figured I would share. # upcz.sh # update remote cz set -xe if

can we remove the 2nd "are you sure?" ? I know it is there for all our protection, but who really needs it? I would hope that anyone using imaging software is already being extra careful, and one "are you sure?" is enough. Carl K Activating the partition info in /proc... done! No cciss related

Carl, In your case, since you are using NTFS and ntfs-3g was installed, then I think it should work. Did you have any problem using -hn0 ? If so, please tell me the error messages. Steven. Carl Karsten wrote: > I don't quite understand how it should work - what do I need to do so -hn0 > will > w

Carl, Good. Thanks. Now I know this prompt is especially for -hn0 or -hn1. Actually it's not only with ntfs-3g, but also other prompts. I think it's better to keep it. Regards, Steven. Carl Karsten wrote: > using live/vmlinuz1 kernel from clonezilla-live-20080914-intrepid.iso (see > below for px
