I've just done a fresh install, deleted programs I don't want, installed what I do, made everything pretty - I know that one can save their software selection, but is there a way to save your system's configuration as a whole as an iso that one could install on another machine or save for archive purposes? I've heard of something called 'remastersys' which allows one to copy a system's setup onto another machine, but is there any way to save an OS as an ISO to be installed later? I doubt Ubuntu will ever have an option to build your own package ala Slax, but it'd make life easier.

Re: Taking a 'snapshot' of one's OS
Good to hear... except I'm on Linux Mint 10 KDE now, and I've heard remastersys isn't an option for me. Sorry for all the "i've heard"s - my reading on linux so far is like a wiki maintained by PennDOT (in PA, USA, the people who take care of our roads are akin to mythical creatures).Comment

Re: Taking a 'snapshot' of one's OS
I use partclone to save my system, then restore to any other hard drive or partition of my choice.
You can download the deb file then just use the sbin inside the compressed folder to your liking without actual installation.
Clonezilla has partclone as part of its cloning process also.Comment
