Introduction
When you want to do a new installation(dual boot) of Pardus on a computer (WinPC) which already has another OS (Windows), it is highly recommended to make an image(backup) of the disk/partition.
The problem is where to put this image?
In his manual I will make and write the image to a remote computer with an active Pardus 2008.1 (PardusPC).
Used hardware and software
To make the image I use a Live CD with clonezilla-live-1.2.1-17.iso which can be downloaded from http://www.clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/
I use a second computer with an active Pardus 2008 OS.
The two computers are connected with a (Sitecom WL-535) router.
The PardusPC must have an active samba setup as described in http://en.pardus-wiki.org/HOWTO:SambaNetwork
"Making /home/samba (share) writable" is important.
The administrator password and IP address of the remote PardusPC must be available.
To show the IP address select the Network-applet in the system tray.
Menu item activation in Clonezilla.
Menu items with [ ]:go to the item with the arrow keys, hit the spacebar ([ ]>[*]) and activate with the [Enter] key. Menu items without [ ]:go to the item with the arrow keys and activate with the [Enter] key.
Making the backup to the remote PardusPC
Boot the WinPC with the Clonezilla liveCD.
Here is a list of the menu items with my input between ().
- Select your language.
- Don't touch keymap.

- dhcp
- IP address ... (modify = IP address of the PardusPC)
- Domain in the samba server ... (leave empty)
- Account in server ... (accept default=administrator)
