Hi Mark,
*Clonezilla*
I agree with Andre about cloning and Clonezilla. And I have been using
Clonezilla from 'stable' iso files burned to CD disks and cloned to USB
pendrives for years.

If you want to transfer a system to a smaller drive, and the system

you will understand why all cloning to
I may be way off base, but whenever I used Clonezilla I downloaded "Live"

prompts.
I found Clonezilla very useful. But, one thing I never understood is why
