So you want one USB<\/span> Flash stick to boot the latest versions of both System Rescue CD<\/a> and Clonezilla-Live<\/a>? So did I! Easy, I thought, just use UNetbootin<\/a> to create each one in turn, copying the files between runs, then merge them together. Well, it wasn\u2019t that easy.<\/p>\n

First off, Clonezilla (1.2.5-35) installs just fine via UNetbootin, but the latest SRCD<\/span> (1.5.8) does not. I noticed, however, that SRCD<\/span> now includes an installer script called usb_inst.sh<\/strong> which essentially does the same thing UNetbootin does. Here are the steps I followed to get them both crammed on to one 1 GB USB<\/span> flash stick (with about 608 MB spare space):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install SRCD<\/span> to the USB<\/span> stick using the usb_inst.sh<\/strong> script.<\/li>\n
  2. Boot to the USB<\/span> stick to verify it worked OK.<\/li>\n
  3. Install Clonezilla to the same USB<\/span> stick with UNetbootin. Be sure to NOT<\/span> overwrite the files when it prompts you to do so.<\/li>\n
  4. Boot to the USB<\/span> stick to make sure it still works for SRCD<\/span>. At this point, Clonezilla will NOT<\/span> show up in the boot menus.<\/li>\n
  5. Remove the first few lines from the top of \/syslinux.cfg<\/strong>, stopping at the blank line before the first \u201clabel\u201d line.<\/li>\n
  6. Merge the \/syslinux\/syslinux.cfg<\/strong> and \/syslinux.cfg<\/strong> files with cat \/syslinux.cfg >> \/syslinux\/syslinux.cfg<\/em> does the trick. Be sure to append \/syslinux.cfg<\/strong> at the end of \/syslinux\/syslinux.cfg<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Boot to the USB<\/span> stick several times and verify you can start up each of the menu items successfully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note that the only reason this works is that the SRCD<\/span> install script uses that \/syslinux<\/strong> subfolder for its boot menus, and that both are using similar boot techniques. If the SRCD<\/span> and UNetbootin scripts continue to configure themselves like this, then this method should work for future version, too.<\/p>\n

    For my next challenge. . . cram BackTrack, SRCD<\/span> and Clonezilla on a 4 GB USB<\/span> Flash stick!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
