Debian :: Save On CD D/loaded Programs For Later Installs?
Apr 17, 2011On top of the what's installed from the Debian 6.01 live CD I add the secuirty updates and a small number of programs (Audacity, OpenShot, AbiWord, get_iplayer, ripit and SMPlayer). Because at present while in a phase of distro-hopping I tend to fiddle a bit with new distros and reinstall them more often than spend time undoing a more complex mess, can the added programs be stored so that they don't need to be downloaded again,o the dependencies complicate this or make it impossible? I'm imagining hopefully some folder of .deb files that exist after downloading that I can put on a CD for repeated use. Sorry if I'm being naive.
If this can be done, a jargon-free set of steps would be much appreciated. I use Mobile Broadband with a low monthly limit so it will help. Though I forget the method now, I did once when using Linux Mint use some 'script' that would enable me to put programs on a CD to download at my parents' home when I had no internet, but it was hit and miss it seemed, with missing dependencies galore.

Aug 17, 2010I know it is possible to boot Ubuntu Live from a Flash drive. But it just boots up and runs like its a CD. When you shut down the computer, the changes are all lost.
Is there any way to use the flash drive as a Hard Drive? like install Ubuntu on the flash drive and have the flash drive act as a hard drive - so that if I boot with the flash drive in the computer I can boot of of the flash drive and it would act as a hard drive?
Could I just setup Ubuntu and select the flash drive as the install directory? would that accomplish this?
Debian :: Opy Entire System From Virtual Box?
Feb 20, 2011I supposed to install a server (mail,dns,dhcp etc) but we need to record all the steps that we're doing, thats why i decided to setup a virtual machine and record everything with Xvidcap (which works great by the way).
The problem:
Now we need to test this server at school which means i have to take my computer to school and setup up a network overthere, whats the big deal about this? my computer case is a huge xclio a380 which weights about 35lbs (not kidding) so taking this thing to school riding a bus 3 hours to get there every weekend is not a good idea.
Is it possible to make a copy of the entire system and put it on a laptop?

Apr 19, 2011Custdistro means it will backup your all/thing without/home and customback means it will backup all thing in /. It can create an ISO if your backup is less then 4 GB. Well, i've made a lot of changes to ubuntu 10.04 and now i love it! It does everything i'll want from any computer. This took me a lot of time, follow several tutorials and destroy the entire system a couple of times. The last one is a BIG problem because restoring my system to the state before i ****** all up takes some time again.Do any of you guys know how to backup all my system settings, programs and files? So that if i corrupt my system again i can restore it to be exactly as my current state?

Jan 1, 2010I've got an odd problem and was wondering if anyone had any insight. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 on a Gateway E-100M and everything works great except for firefox. My machine will hard freeze about once a day when using firefox. The whole OS -- no mouse movement, no keyboard response, etc.I've switched to Chrome for weeks and I get no issues at all. I switched back to firefox and it hard froze within the first hour or so. I know it's unusual that an individual program would freeze the whole OS rather than just crash, but it seems to be a fairly consistent pattern.

Apr 28, 2010Main reason I am using openSUSE currently is because my Windows system's went bad. I haven't been able to easily restore and will probably have to do clean windows install. I want to make sure my entire openSuse system (application/OS setting/etc) backup so I can easily restore of it fast. Since this type of back takes awhile, I would preferably like do this while I am still logged into SUSE. I am where to disk cloning thing like clonezilla, but looks like I would need turn of my system entirely to get this done.
Currently my SUSE root and home are in a partition with another NTFS partition on my hard drive. I really don't want to use 'dd' to clone the entire hard disk. I would much rather store of required partitions in other locations. Hopefully, there is easy to get this done without too much of effort and time.

Jul 11, 2009I recently installed Fedora 11 64bit and I am curious about encrypting my entire file system for security purposes. I've been on Google for a while now and I keep finding info on how to encrypt a specific folder or home directories but nothing on the entire file system (or I'm missing something big here). It's hard for me to imagine that it isn't. If so, do I need to encrypt the partition my file system is on before installing it? What software should I use? There seems to be so many, it's difficult to keep them all straight.

Jan 21, 2009I need a FREE solution that can image an entire Luks system encrypted volume and the rest of the used HDD, the MBR and /boot partition. Note: MBR and /boot are not encrypted. Note 2: I want to be able to restore entire drive from image with only a couple of steps. Note 3: Destination HDD space is a factor. Image file must be compressed and the image file must be around 40 to 50 GB or less. The smaller the image the better.
I have used clonezilla live cd before but not for encrypted volumes. I know you can install it in Linux. But, I don't know how to configure it after installation. I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to configure clonezilla in Fedora. How to guides are also welcome. I have one more question. If I image the encrypted volumes and all the stuff I mentioned above while logged in to Fedora, and I restore the drive from the image, will the recovered drive still be encrypted?
