I have been having lots of hardware issues recently,causing me to reinstall my windows and sometimes my linux also.Even now I have 12 gb ext3 partition used by hardy...only half used.
I have a heavy install over here..in the sense..quite a lot of packages that I might use(with 78% chance).Also there are configurations and programs(scripts).I want to know how I can make a ready to use Linux for myself.Quite like backing up..I want to burn a cd/dvd from which I can restore the same Linux I use now, bootable disc that installs fresh but with these packages in repository.
Is there any software that allows creating such rescue disks or should I put my packages in folders like the live cd has and make it an image and burn?I can write scripts otherwise to tar and burn all packages onto media.
This is needed because the time needed to search and install previously installed softwares and plugins in Linux is as painful as in Windows,especially when Linux provides so much and many are CLI programs that I may not remember to search after an install...
