Hi

We have a standalone network cloning laptops using clonezilla. The 
person using it says it does what it is supposed to.

The install was pretty much by the instructions on the webpage. The 
computer we use have an extra NIC for a private clone network. We also 
installed an extra HDD  500GB for clone image storage.

What i did was pretty much;

   1. Configure nic on eth1 to 192.168.100.1
   2. Add packages dkms dkms-fuse dkms-ntfs3g dkms-ntfs
      fuse-ntfs-3g-devel fuse-ntfs-3g
          * /yum install dkms dkms-fuse dkms-ntfs3g dkms-ntfs
            fuse-ntfs-3g-devel fuse-ntfs-3g/
   3. /Modify ///etc/sysconfig/iptables/ according to Clonezilla server
      firewall
      <https://sysadm.isy.liu.se/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClonezillaFirewall>
   4. Install Clonezilla following Clonezilla server install
      <http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/>
   5. Configure the server according to the webpage

Thomas
