Clone existing system using kiwi/autoyast

Hello,

I’d like to clone an existing system using kiwi/autoyast. I’ve searched the documentation, but cannot figure out if it is possible to automagically create a clone of my system, including list of installed packages and whatever configuration changes I made manually. Any pointers you could give will be much appreciated.

Autoyast is designed for that, but I don’t know how automatic it gets.
There is a yast module for it, try…

And there is documentation, I saw it time ago.

Yeah, there is a lot of documentation out there, but I was not able to find the relevant piece in it. Until now:
openSUSE-KIWI Image System.
The section 8.1 suggests to run

kiwi --describe workstation

I tried it and it seemed to run for a while, but then it ended up stuck consuming 100% CPU for hours, I had to kill it. Hopefully a bug that will get fixed soon. Thanks for your response.

Only if you report it in Bugzilla.
