Re: [CentOS] looking for a tool to convert my running system into a installation dvd

Hi,

probably you are looking for Anacondas kickstart feature.
A kickstart installation can be used to install all your packages and
provide basic system configuration. It is possible, but not meant to be
used as, to even configure the system as you have it currently running
using post-install scripts. [1] seems to be a quite good resource to
get started with kickstart installations.

This is meant to be used if you plan a roll-out on multiple (many)
machines where an manual installation is not applicable (in this case
some kind of configuration management should be used to keep track of
the configurations deployed).
If you just want a single (or just some few) system(s) as hole clone of
your system (including full configuration), backup and restore seems
better.

best regards
Markus Lange

REAR (relax and recover) is another option, if you want a backup you can 
re-install from, as opposed to an actual cloned live image.

"Installing" a copy of a running system on another computer is more like 
a backup and restore than it is like an installation, so you're probably 
best off looking in the backup category of tools.


I would recommend clonezilla.  Boot the clonezilla distro, and capture 
an image of your system onto whatever media you want to use.  You might 
image it on to a removable hard drive and later write those files to a 
DVD.  Later you can boot the clonezilla distro again and restore the 
image that you captured in order to "install" the system.
