I have Ubuntu 10.04 running on a MacBook Pro 5.5. It's using rEFIt to allow Ubuntu to boot via GRUB despite the Mac's EFI. For backup purposes, I'd like to clone it's hard drive using Clonezilla. I followed the instructions from the official Clonezilla website to create a live USB using the Clonezilla ISO and Tuxboot, however booting the Mac while the live USB is attached has no effect. Holding down the Option key during booting shows no additional drives, and bringing up the rEFIt screens also shows only the Ubuntu partition, and the original Mac OS X partition.
How do I make a live Clonezilla media that's bootable from a Mac running Linux?

Maybe you could add the USB to GRUB and then pick it in the Grub boot menu Grub http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=992426 Grub2+Plop http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/mbrinstall.html#grub2inst

1@Eric B., Upon further reading, LiveUSB for Macs is not well supported, since recent Macs use a different booting mechanism. I found a couple blog posts explaining how to do it, but it was incredibly involved and a bit hackish. – Cerin – 2012-04-24T23:47:06.227
