Accessible Bootable Clonezilla?

[Al Puzzuoli]

Thanks.
I burned a physical CD, and actually got the image working on an old 
beater box of a laptop, a Tecra 8000 with 256 megs of ram. I'm 
resurrecting it as an old Windows 98 / dos machine, mostly for nostalgic 
/gaming purposes, and wanted a way to take an image of the HD. Looks 
like Talking Arch and Clonezilla will work nicely. The funny thing is 
professionally, I'll also use this on the opposite end of the spectrum. 
We're  getting a bunch of new Dell Optiplex 9030 machines with UEFI and 
GPT partitions. so I think I'm going to get to know Clonezilla quite well.
