Creating a Drive image
 

I have just installed Fedora and updated everything, I would like to create a image DVD for a easy reinstall / backup plan

what is the best way of doing this.

In windows i have used Drive Image and found it very useful.

Couple Options
 

Here are a couple ghosting options for you.

Ghost For Linux.

Haven't tried this one, but heard good things about it.

Partimage

Fantastic tool. Cumbersome at first, excellent when figured out.

And don't forget the wonders of 'dd'. A good tutorial can be found at:

Hope these steer you to what you're looking for.
