clonezilla

We need to program in CUDA 5.0 which can be installed only on ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04.

Our current version, 9.10, is no longer supported, so we chose to proceed with a clean installation. Since we have a shared workstation, we used clonezilla for cloning the system. However, booting from the LiveCD showed an unexpected error.

We also tried to install 11.10 in an external HDD by partitioning it, but Gparted could not be installed, and terminated with the error "installArchives() failed" which we couldn't solve even after modifying the sources.list.

Is there a way to proceed with this upgrade?
