    Create a LiveCD image of my current Fedora 11 installation

    Hi friends ,

    I have a fedora 11 installation on my machine , with a customized partitioning of the 500GB sata HDD , I wanted to create a exact replica image on a USB stick , for future installations on other 500GB sata HDDs .. while only need to create a copy of the 5 GB (/boot + / ) while the remaining 400 GB + is a Data Logger partition which can be created by a script

    I tried doing a rsync .. but have got stuck up with the bootable drive configs et all ..

    Any pointers in this regard would be great ..

    Thanks in advance ..

    I like Clonezilla and FSArchiver for creating system images. They both work really well, but note that with FSArchiver, you might have to restore the bootloader by other methods. The advantage FSArchiver brings is that it can install images to disks that are smaller than the disk the image was made from.

    Good luck with your imaging project.
