Create a cd rescue


Hi,

I'm looking for a tool able to create a cd (or dvd) image of a linux installation.
For example: I install Fedora, I add some customization, and after I want to create a new cd iso which contains my settings and is, of course, ready to install.

Any suggestion ? Thankyou

It's been covered on here numerous times, if you want to search for it and get more info.

mkcdrec, mondoarchive, and systemimager, all do what you want.

Thank you very much.
What is the simplest (in the rescue fase)?
I need a recover cd for a customer not expert with linux.

Well, I've had very good luck with Mondoarchive and systemimager. Mondoarchive has a basic menu-driven system, that makes a bootable ISO image, ready to burn to CD/DVD. Does everything for you, and (if you're going to identical hardware), VERY easy to recover with.

Of course, this assumes the person using it, can fix the hardware...so if you're giving it to a customer, your mileage may vary.
