How do I create a live iso of my system?
by dptzippy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EVN8)
Hey, all! I am not sure where to post my question, but I hope that "general" is the appropriate area for me to seek help. I have been building my own operating system, which began as my third (or fourth) time using the LFS book, but has since become a passion project of mine. I want to share my work with others, but I can't find a way to do so.
I tried Linux Live Kit scripts, but they made a file that fails to be written to a USB drive. I tried CloneZilla, but it always fails. Some attempts result in CZ going to a black screen, others result in a generic "failure to create clone" error.
I am getting really upset with how none of the options I have seen have been able to work. I thought that my OS was to blame (which may very well eb the case), but it manages to run perfectly, and I have had no issue recompiling my kernel, updating the firmware, compiling and installing a ton of stuff, updating packages, etc.
I am looking for anybody who can provide me with a guide on how to create a copy of my existing system, which can be booted into, or is at least my complete system without a bootloader already installed. PLEASE do not just send me the generic "go to the clonezilla site and read the instructions". Such a response would be entirely unhelpful, and a waste of both of our time.
Anyway, thanks everybody. You guys rock. :)
