Hi, I think I've solved the issue with PXE but as I've actually watched the start script of clonezilla I've noticed a lot of errors. Can someone please tell me if this is normal for clonezilla or at least shed a bit of light on the subject....

Set the single user password for client *, this will be safer...

Setting the PXE clients to remote boot linux with label "Clonezilla: save disk hda as image Curric_GreenPC_A13_img"...
Turn off all MENU DEFAULT...
Make "drbl" as default label in /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default.
The MENU LABEL is "Clonezilla: save disk hda as image Curric_GreenPC_A13_img"
Client jobs are logged in '/var/log/clonezilla-jobs.log',
Copying files to /tftpboot/node_root/drbl_ssi for DRBL SSI... done!
*****************************************************.
Now set the client machines to boot from PXE or Etherboot, then turn on them (Refer to
http://drbl.sourceforge.net for more details). Then turn on the client to make the template image! Note: If the partition you want to save is NTFS filesystem, it is recommended to defrag that partition first.
Note! If you use Etherboot in your client machine, version 5.4.0 or newer is required!!!.
This is for all clients, so we remove other host-based PXE config files in /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/ and keep /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default only.Clean all the previous saved PXELINUX config file if they exist...done!
PS. Next time you can run this command directly:
/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-ocs -b -q -z3 -l en startdisk save Curric_GreenPC_A13_img "hda"
done!

It's all the "No such file or directory that has me miffed!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
