Where are the MD5sum files?
Usually they are with the ISOs ......  but I have not seen any ......

MD5sum is :     c6b6f305a31f4afdfa6ee5f9456a8ed8

Any problem let me know.

Thanks.  MD5sum checks out, but file size is 375M:

My PCManFM shows   392.7 MB (392,708,096 bytes)
which agrees with Sourceforge.    The same file when viewed
with Peazip shows 374.5 MB.

Unfortunately, most people using mylivecd don't use
the --md5sum   option, me included.

That will definitely not happen again especially something
on Sourceforge.

The MD5sum provided was computed by Sourceforge during
the upload.

It boots and runs very fast. Interesting choice of colors. I think you have plenty of room to include clonezilla, but that's your decision.

For the record, PCManFM reports the iso size as 392.7MB. My md5sum matches Ferdes Fides's.

ls -l OBRescue2012-2b.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 darrel darrel 392708096 Mar 26 22:42 OBRescue2012-2b.iso

md5sum OBRescue2012-2b.iso
c6b6f305a31f4afdfa6ee5f9456a8ed8  OBRescue2012-2b.iso

It's actually a nomenclature issue, regarding megabytes v. mebibytes.

From the article:

...
Mebibyte is not commonly used. Instead, megabyte is often used to mean 1000 x 1000, 1024 x 1024 or even 1024 x 1000 by disk manufacturers. Such usage can be confusing and inconsistent, since operating systems will report lower capacities for hard disks than advertised by manufacturers in the labels. Operating systems use Mebibytes for file sizes.

So, to be particularly pedantic, it is 375 MiB (although I still call them megabytes, and treat them as base2 units, when dealing with ditigal binary data).

Just to make sure we are all using the same ISO that you used, the md5sum of your local ISO can give us the assurance that its the one and the same. The md5sum I have is:

The above md5sum is from my original file and matches.

Was getting libpng errors and could not proceed. Any ideas?

Which program did that ?    During boot ?

Booting from a LiveUSB. It was hanging on the plymouth theme for a while and I had to go to another VT to see what was happening.

Yes, that happens with a LiveUSB, a full install does not last time I tried.   It always finishes
booting however it just looks funny on the LiveUSB.    I don't know how to fix it except to
boot without it whenever possible.    The USB Creator configures that to display.    The VESA
driver flickers a little bit too during boot but after it works 100%.

Sorry about that one thing.

Hi,

Waiting for something to come up from feedback that hasn't already come up.
Changed a few colors, boot screen and slightly changed Peazip for variety,
so if nothing else arises I'll post an iso on Sourceforge with Clonezilla.

I haven't really seen any issues. Then again, I haven't given the live CD a real world workout by doing a data recovery or backup.

My backups this weekend.    Clonezilla for sure in the iso
sometime next week.   I'll take a trip to the library to use
their superfast upload speeds.    Tested enough then.

Thanks for the comment.

Have you ever used clonezilla from the repo ?    I can probably get
Clonezilla live to run from script OK, but DRBL Clonezilla is the
main program in the package it appears.    Wish they were separate
packages I guess.   Anyway, the DRBL is going to confuse the less
than expert user, so I'm tempted to leave the package out then,
leave it as an option.

Thoughts ?

Gotta say I agree with the confusion part. I used to use clonezilla in the shop where I worked for streaming disk images over a local net. If I remember correctly, it took me a couple of days just to get the settings right, and to get a routine down that was dependable and repeatable. I always say simpler is better. If you don't feel the necessity of including clonezilla, don't. You could get questions down the road that would take a shop lab to troubleshoot. I was simply commenting on the note included on your iso desktop that said clonezilla wasn't included for space reasons. Your iso image is already pretty "lean and mean".

As far as simplicity, I also used to use Acronis, streaming multiple images on the same local network. It was much, much easier. And, it can do one thing clonezilla, so far, can't. That is duplicating a RAID1 Windows image that is restorable to the target. But, Acronis is proprietary. One can obtain it if one knows where to look. But, the live CD needs its own boot environment, and the server and workstation versions run on Windows.
