Setting up CloneZilla Server in Ubuntu 12.04

I'm usign Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. After DRBL installation you need to setup the server. I am using two network cards, 1 for my internet connection the other one is for Clonezilla Server. In the upper right side of your Ubuntu desktop click the network indicator and then choose edit connection



Then choose Wired connection 2 because the Wired connection 1 is for my internet access, then click edit

after you click edit choose IPV4 Settings Method should be manual then click add and then save.
Address: 192.168.1.254
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168..254


Next go to you terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) type sudo drblsrv -i


After the drblsrv installation type sudo drblpush -i

I choose the default option. If the following wont work try drbl4imp
Note: type: nano /etc/rc.local and at the end of the file, add drbl-all-service start, save and exit
