DRBL Live
   The purpose of DRBL live is to let you run a machine as DRBL server without installation. It's based on Debian Live. DRBL live includes all the DRBL functions, plus Clonezilla. Therefore it can provide PXEBoot Clonezilla, which can be used to do massively clone in a computer classroom or similar environment. Multicast clone is also supported.
   Generally speaking, DRBL live is server edition, while Clonezilla live is personal edition.
   The differences between DRBL live and Clonezilla live is: DRBL live provides DRBL functions (DHCP, TFTP, NFS, NIS services), so client can boot via PXE and be cloned. Since DRBL live includes all the Clonezilla programs, it can be used as an alternative of Clonezilla live.


Files:
   *.iso file is for CD/DVD.
   *.zip file is for USB flash drive.
   drbl-live-standard-* is command line only, text mode DRBL server live
   drbl-live-xfce-* is XFCE environment DRBL server live
   drbl-live-gnome-* is Gnome environment DRBL server live
   drbl-live-kde-* is KDE environment DRBL server live

   If you want to put *.zip in your USB flash drive, Download the zip file, then you can make it bootable in a MS Windows or GNU/Linux computer. Follow these steps in order to make a bootable USB flash drive:

   * Make it bootable under MS windows (PS: The following description is modified from: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/02/all-in-one-usb-dsl. Thanks to PDLA from http://pendrivelinux.com)
     *****************************
        WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
     *****************************
     WARNING!: ***DO NOT RUN*** makeboot.exe from your local hard drive! It should only be run from your USB flash drive. Executing it incorrectly could cause your MS windows not to boot!!!
     1. Download the HP-USB Format tool (http://h50178.www5.hp.com/local_drivers/17550/SP27608.exe) and format your flash drive using the Fat or Fat32 option. This program can be used to format USB devices that won't boot properly when formatted with MS windows.
     2. Extract all the contents of the clonezilla-live-usb.zip to your "flash drive." Keep the directory architecture, for example, makeboot.bat should be in the USB flash drive's top directory (e.g. G:\makeboot.bat).
     3. Browse to your "flash drive" and click the makeboot.bat. WARNING! makeboot.bat must be run from your USB flash drive. Executing it incorrectly could cause your MS windows not to boot.
     4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

   * Make it bootable under GNU/Linux
     1. Insert your USB flash drive into the USB port on your Clonezilla server and wait a few seconds. Next, run the command "dmesg" to query the device name of the USB flash drive. Let's say, for example, that you find it is /dev/sdb1. In this example, we assume /dev/sdb1 has FAT filesystem.
     2. Unzip all the files, and copy them into your USB flash drive. Keep the directory architecture, for example, vmlinuz and initrd.gz should be in the USB flash drive's top directory (e.g. /media/usb/vmlinuz or /media/usb/initrd.gz).
     3. Make sure syslinux 3.30 or later is installed in your GNU/Linux system, if not, install it. Then you can run something like: "syslinux -s /dev/sdb1" to make your USB flash drive bootable. WARNING! Executing it incorrectly could cause your GNU/Linux not to boot. Comfirm the command before you run it. 


Accounts and passwords:
  user password: live
  no default root password
  To become root, login as user, then use "sudo su -".

To use it as a Clonezilla server:
0. Boot it from this DRBL/Clonezilla server live CD. The auto login account is "user", you can use "sudo su -" to become root.

1. If you want to use Clonezilla server edition, double clicks the "Clonezilla server" icon. Follow the steps to finish that. Duing the configurations, it will as you to mount a dev or network dir as /home/partimag. It's better to mount a local partition, although sshfs/samba is supported. Some benchmark provided by L.C:
   local disk      1.72G   2:51    618M/min
   samba           1.72G   3:05    572M/min
   sshfs           1.72G   16:42   106M/min
   usb stick       1.72G   9:00    196M/min

To use it as a DRBL server:
0. To start DRBL service, double clicks the "Start DRBL" icon in the desktop. By default, for security reason, the DRBL server will block all the machines except those DRBL clients. Remember to edit /etc/hosts.allow if you want to ssh login it.
