How do I make a "spin"

ttx336 · #1 2nd November 2009, 09:44 PM

I am not sure if "spin" is the right term actually but what I want to do is make an iso of my current setup that is working properly so that in case of a hdd failure I can easily reinstall; is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks for moving it to the correct place.

I've been reading through the posts on this forum and it sounds like this is way above my head... I will set this aside for a while.

If you don't mind spending about $30., Boot It Ng (Boot It Next Generation) can be used to make an image of your linux partition. You burn on a DVD; it takes maybe 30 minutes to complete with bit by bit verification. So, what I did was install Fedora, get the GUI configured the way I like, get all current updates, download all the media software etc. Then make the image. Then I kept a log of anything added to the system so that I could add it back if I ever used the image. Then at some point, when I thought I'd better make another image, I wiped the partition, reinstalled the image, then added the stuff in my log. Then......took another image on DVD. You get the drift.
