I have a ubuntu server 15.10 installed on my virtual machine (Parallels Desktop). now I want to create a iso installation of my current ubuntu server with it's softwares, configuration, etc.
as long as its a non-gui distribution, how would I manage to do that? I have tested some tools like Remastersys, Respin, PinguyBuilder but despite the Live mode which works correctly and have my data included, their Installer option doesn't work, and when I choose it, the system is going to freeze or into Live mode again.
I don't want to use CloneZilla because as far as I know it is just a backup/restore tool and doesn't come for creating iso installation.
dd
is good for this,dd_rescue
may be better as it has extra functions, that I think make it easier to use.dd
is only dangerous if you get the command wrong, such as writing to the partition that you're meant to read from. You just need to make sure you understand what it is you want to do, before trying anything, and you could obviously back up your VM first.
