How to create bootable Fedora DVD whose image is my present system? [Archive]

The next time I install Fedora, I would like to install the updated and customised Fedora I am running now. In other words, I would like to create a bootable and installable media of my current fedora image.

This can help me with fewer updates the next time I install (and I dont have to re-do all the settings, from adding repos to customising dock attributes), and will also be great for distribution purposes to people without a decent internet connection (I know many such).

Propose ideas taking into account that I may not be a computer engineer! ;)

Thanks!

Edit: I am currently running F15.

Short answer - there is no easy way to do what you want to do.

Having said that, have a look at the following guide: http://www.dnmouse.org/autoten/fedora-guides/42-yum-and-respin-creating/116-system-restore-disk.html

Looks good. I am looking for F15 options. However, I am ready to wait a little more till dnmouse updates it. Thanks fpmurphy for sharing the link.

Take a look at kickstart.
