I've been looking at clonezilla, but it seems surprisingly difficult
to get it on a USB stick in Fedora-20.
The usual advice seems to be to run tuxboot -
I gather that there was a Fedora tuxboot package,
but apparently it is no longer supported.
There were versions of tuxboot for ubuntu,
but none that I could find intended for fedora.
I tried unetbootin, which is mentioned as an unrecommended alternative.
It created a bootable version of clonezilla-live-2.2.1-25-i686-pae.iso
but when this was run it threw up hundreds of errors, including
EXT3-fs: sda1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features
with the same many times for each partition.
If someone has actually run clonezilla under Fedora-20
I imagine a short account of how this is done would be welcome.
