gparted version?
0.27.0
I used the zipped archive gparted-live-0.27.0-1-amd64.zip.

Yup, same version I'm using. Thanks again. 300MB partition to be able to clone, check, fix, resize, and partition isnt bad at all. For the most part, it's stable.

Still I would advise an dedicated external storage for a gparted-live. It has some advantages, and it's not that big: thumbdrives are ever cheaper...
;)

I actually like this method better, putting it on the existing drive. No need to create an extra partition.

Code:
mkdir /dmt
cd /dmt
unzip gparted-live-0.27.0-1-i686.zip

image = /dmt/live/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/sda1
  label = 0.27.0
  append = "boot=live config union=overlay noswap noprompt ip=frommedia live-media-path=/dmt/live bootfrom=/dev/sda1 toram=filesystem.squashfs"
  vga=788
  initrd = /dmt/live/initrd.img

Well, if used in copy to ram mode, it does have advantage over USB drive :)

When you clone a drive , do you clone the swap partition too?

Why would you do that?

PROBLEMCHYLD 12-24-2016 04:34 PM
I wasn't sure, I thought when you clone something, that you would include everything. Now I know, thanks.

How do I install lilo to a non-bootable drive?

bassmadrigal 06-03-2017 01:05 AM
There is no such thing as a non-bootable drive. All drives are bootable (assuming there's no limitations with your BIOS/UEFI). You're able to mark certain partitions as "bootable", but that is a relic from the earlier Windows days and it's unnecessary to use now (although, it doesn't hurt anything to do so... I still generally mark my needed partitions as bootable). But lilo/grub/elilo/syslinux/etc and the BIOS/UEFI don't care if a partition is marked as bootable. If that partition is referenced in the bootloader, then it can boot, whether the flag is set or not.
