Is there a non interactive way to download clonezilla? I'd like to write a script to check and download the latest version every month or so. So that I can keep my pxe boot clonezilla up to date.

I wrote up the instructions I did here. https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?326166-UEFI-and-BIOS-pxe-booting-memtest

20210127-groovy same thing. Wireshark reports grubx64.efi as the last requested file from these. same with 20210505-hirsute. Ubuntu's does the same. Fedora's seems to be the only one built to request the grub.cfg files from tftp. Fedora's actually shows a few before it requests grub.cfg It requests the following in this order /grub.cfg-01-06-05-04-03-02-01 (where 06-05-04-03-02-01 is the mac address note /grub.cfg-01- is pre-pended) /grub.cfg-C0A80167 (where C0A80167 is the ip 192.168.1.103 encoded...

I recently setup testing for pxe booting I have both bios and uefi pxe boot vm's setup under virt-manager I had first tried the grubx64.efi that comes with clonezilla and I kept having the issue of it coming to the grub command line without pulling grub.cfg. I checked with wireshark to see what files grubx64.efi was trying to get but nothing showed up. At this point I pulled a grubx64.efi from a fedora 33 iso EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi then my stuff started working.

I am using current stable clonezilla-live-2.7.1-22-amd.zip I had copied grubx64.efi from the EFI/boot/grubx64.efi from the zip file. wireshark was not seeing any request for a config file after the client got grubx64.efi

I had tried ocs_repository="dev:///LABEL=PARTIMAGE" Maybe I should have used PARTLABEL? I put together a usb stick with 2 partitions the Clonezilla partition and the PARTIMAGE partition that I read and write the images to. The PARTIMAGE partition has the label PARTIMAGE. Currently the PARTIMAGE partition is fat32 although I may want to try ntfs as it can still be used in windows and supports bigger file sizes.
