I would like to clone same computer installations (WinXP and Linux) for our new Student Lab (at the University of Bremen). When I booted with a Knoppix CD 5.0.1. I suceeded to clone a ntfs partition using ntfsclone (http://www.linux-ntfs.org/).

When I looked around how to automate this I found back your damn small linux. I just installed it on my notebook. It works nice. Installing it on a USB-Stick was easy.

But using ntfsclone needs a kernel patch in 2.4.26, libntfs.so.5 (there is only so.3 available). Do you think it is possible to update all this to sucessfully use ntfsprogs?

I read that you want to keep this 50 MByte barrier. But adding a "one" only is not so dramatically. With 150 MB your could use kernel 2.6.15 like Knoppix 5 does and much more.

Kind regards

Hi khvolk!

Reading your post I assume that(But correct me if I'm wrong):

1.- You're trying to install ntfsclone but it needs ntfsprogs
2.- You're trying to install ntfsprog but it needs libntfs.so.5

Are you sure libntfs.so.5 is a patch to the kernel? It really seems an operating system library.

Well, I recommend you two methods in your case:

First Method:
-------------
1.- Apps -> Tools -> Enable APT
2.- Then, in a shell:
apt-get update
apt-get install ntfsprogs
apt-get install ntfsclone
3.- If you already can execute ntfsclone so, you have it installed correctly.

Second method:
---------------
If the previous doesn't work, or if you don't have access to the net in these computers, try the following:
1.- Get the libntfs.so.5 file in a disk (floppy, cdrom, usb-pen, etc.) and copy it in one of the following directories (try three but only one existing file per time):
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
2.- Try to install ntfsprogs how you know
3.- Try to install ntfsclone how you know
4.- If you already can execute ntfsclone so, you have it installed correctly.

Ask me if you try that, please.
