How large is my disk-drive? How to find the image matching to my disk-size?
Helpers report some confusion to understand the correct size of a disk-drive and find the matching image. E.g. a laptop has a 250 GB disk-drive (when you look at the label of a disk-drive), but in BIOS, tools like Labtix or Parted Magic the disk-size is shown as 232 GB...

Hi Labdooers,
as you might have noticed (L)Ubuntu 18.04 LTS brought up some changes in the installation tools. To clone actual Labdoo images you should use an actual Parted Magic (PM, the versions 2012/2013 might not work cloning 18.04 images). But an actual PM is not for free anymore (11 $ per license)! As some of you requested, Labdoo (Germany) started to develop some new, license free...
Since 2009 it is forbidden by law to import used computers to Uganda. Is there a legal way e.g. are there exceptions?
I ask, because I encountered problems at the customs this year at Entebbe airport.
