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?
This is a manual about making and writing the image to a remote computer with an active Pardus 2008.1 (PardusPC).
Hardware and software requirements
To make the image use a Live CD with clonezilla-live-1.2.1-17.iso which can be downloaded from http://www.clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/
A second computer with an active Pardus 2008 OS is used to store the image.
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 ().
- Select your language.
- Configuring console-data ... (Don't touch keymap).
- Start_Clonezilla
- Choose the mode: ... (device-image)
- Mount image directory ... (samba_server)
- Mode to setup the network ... (dhcp)
- IP address ... (modify = IP address of the PardusPC)
- Domain in the samba server ... (leave empty)
- Account in server ... (accept default=administrator)
- The directory where.... (modify = /share)
- Now you have to enter the password for ... (modify = administrator password of the PardusPC)
- Choose the mode: ... (saveparts)
- Input a name to save the image ... (modify = whatever you want, this will be the name of the directory of the image)
- Choose the source partition ... (select the partition you want to image)
- Which clone program(s) ... (accept default)
- Set advanced parameters ... (accept default)
- Choose the compression ... (accept default=-z1)
- The size (MB) to split ... (accept default=2000)
- The action when client ... (accept default)
- Are you sure you want ... (y)
Wait .......and at the end select your Start over/Poweroff option.
