Hi again, *More about gnome-disks* I have checked after wiping the first megabyte with mkusb and reinstalling into the USB pendrive. Tiny Core is still booting, so a bootloader was written. Maybe, when the img extension is [automatically] selected, 'Disks' does not write any bootloader into the

Nio, it's quite okay, I do enjoy watching a project develop... even more so when it requires little from me to keep it going. So, don't drop me from having cc's of discussions - My comment was in jest! Kindest Regards, Phill. On 17 November 2014 13:09, Ian Bruntlett ian.bruntl...@gmail.com

Yes, I guess gnome-disks use something similiar as dd to clone and restore disks. I use it to make some replication on the company I work. It is very simple and functional. I do not use .iso images. I have a backup (root partition) made from an existing installation I made and tweaked. So, with

Hi Andre, Nice method :-) I recognize some characteristics like mkusb - dd - cloning and some characteristics like the OBI and its tarballs. Are you using any OEM install feature too? Linux has so many options and possibilities. I think we should look more into this cloning feature of

Hello Nio, I don't use any OEM feature. My install includes printer drivers and configuration, and also some shortcuts to software we use there. So, when I recover, I just change the hostname and password if needed. All user names are the same, it is easier for me to access the machines over

Hi again, I've tried 'Disks' alias gnome-disks in Lubuntu 14.04.1 and Vivid. I could make it create an iso file from a partition, but not from the whole drive. Trying from the whole drive gave me an error both running as a regular user and with sudo. (I tested with a Tiny Core iso file, which is

I've been having good results with the Disks tool started by the top icon in the launcher. Start it up, plug in your USB stick, then restore the disk image from your .iso. As usual, careful, read the messages Seems to obliterate whatever was on the USB stick I haven't had to format.
