Hi
I hope that I have the right thread here!
I am running 11.2 - sort of.
I have made many changes to the currently installed system on my HDD, but now (for the first time!) I have someone that wants to have my same install to be available.
What is the best way to do this?
I am more of a user than a geek - so I looked around at the YaST Product Creator, as well as Image Creator, but after the second dialogue box that came up, I didn’t trust myself to carry through. Also, in my documentation and helps (I have quite a list) I don’t readily see where and how to make an image that can be effectively used as an installer.
What I need to to do is this (in a nutshell)
- Make an installation disk, that is bootable, to over-write an existing MS-Win 7 installation
- The “new” SuSE installation disk should contain all the programs and apps that I currently have installed.
I have thought of using my original install disk, and then updating from repos, but I have chopped and changed these so much that I can’t quite guarantee that the install will be the same.
I remember reading about being able to do a kernel dump - but is that live and bootable, and can one install to a new system? What further complicates matters is that the architecture of the two PCs differ quite a bit - so I am really not sure what to do here…
