help ! how do I put a copy of my linux OS on a DVD to reuse it

[sarah-dido]

so I will need to install evil windows 7 64 bit for a couple of months and I don't want to lose my beloved linux

1- I tried to find any way to install windows 7 beside linux but I didn't succeed

2- I can't use virtual machine as the programes I will use are to big and heavy for such a way .

3- I have a suse linux Enterprise desktop 11 that is installed on my laptop with its option of recovery with it (on the laptop too I didn't get any CD for the operating system )

so how can I put the operating system on a CD so as to return back my linux after ending working with that windows 7 thing ?????? any help !!!!!!!

Hello and welcome!

You can create a system image using clonezilla, partimage, dd, or any one of several other such utilities, then store the image file on a DVD, or on another partition on your hard drive, then restore the image to your machine once you are through with Windows.
