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.

To activate a menu item in Clonezilla do:

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/selection between ().
