Re: Suggestions for replacement of Parted Magic

The other reason I've found to use Parted Magic is because it comes bundled with Clonezilla... however, the version in the last free Parted Magic does seem to be a bit buggy with some of my machines.

Sysresccd doesn't have Clonezilla, but it does have nearly all the tools Clonezilla uses to create images, if somebody's willing to do some work by hand to create/restore Clonezilla images. As far as I can tell, it's just missing gdisk/sgdisk, which it used to have but seem to have gotten pulled(?)... though man, it'd be nice if it just rolled Clonezilla in. There used to be a live CD that did just that (combine Clonezilla and Sysresccd) a few years back, but the project is defunct now afaik.

This topic is not about a specific tool in pmagic. IMO, Sysresccd is not the best option to add to UBCD *by default*. It can be easily merged as a customization, and I'm sure some users are already doing it.

Regarding clonezilla; I repeat, this topic is not about any specific tool. If you want clonezilla, just use clonezilla-live from http://www.clonezilla.org/downloads.php and/or optionally merge it with UBCD.

If anyone has experience with those distros mentioned before (small, maintained, requiring low resources, with support for txz) let's focus this topic on them.
