Clonezilla Live USB

  • Download, burn, and boot up the Clonezilla Live USB
  • Create the filesystem image, it will be stored wherever you specify
  • Reboot, again from the Clonezilla Live USB you downloaded
  • This time, select to create the live CD (not USB, because you want an iso file)
  • After Clonezilla is done, burn the resulting iso image to your spare USB drive

Burn the iso image to your spare USB drive:

$ dd bs=4M if=<clonezilla.iso> of=<usb device>

Burning using 'makeboot.sh'.

Partition via fdisk:

Make sure the partition is large enough for your intended image.

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
     /dev/sdd1   *           1       26630    12582643+   b  W95 FAT32

Create FAT32 file system:

$ mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/<usb-device>

Create the bootable USB:

  • Mount the USB device
  • Copy the files to the USB device
  • Use makeboot.sh (?) to turn the USB device into a bootable device
