Hence, the new pre-run and post-run paths are /usr/share/drbl/prerun/ocs/ and /usr/share/drbl/postrun/ocs/, respectively.

//NOTE// From Clonezilla live 1.2.6-24, due to the change in Live-boot, the boot parameter to assign static IP address has been changed. The new format is: ip=**[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER] [,[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER]]***::

· The function install_grub_hd in ocs-live-dev should skip checking the boot loader on the USB flash drive, because it might be new, empty one.
· To avoid the KMS and vmwgfx conflict issue (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686939), some blacklist boot parameters were added.
· The VOL_LIMIT for splitting image file could not larger than 20000000000000. Ref:
· https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=3567350&group_id=115473
· Saving mode should enable ncurse interface by default, too. Otherwise it's confusing.
· Program run-parts is confusing, there now we use drbl-run-parts.
· The description using space key to mark the selection for disk to disk clone is not required. Thanks to sabrehagen (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=3552271&group_id=115473).
