Cloning my Ubuntu/LPL install?
« on: September 21, 2009, 11:32:09 AM »

Hi Everyone,

I know this is not directly related to LPL on Ubuntu, but I was wondering about cloning my installation.

I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 on both an Eee PC 901 and a Mirus Classmate.  LPL seems to work fine on both installations (FYI, the classmate was only about $200).  To install Ubuntu Netbook Remix, I used a flash drive (there are instructions on the Ubuntu web pages to create a bootable USB using a downloadable image that they provide).  Then I installed Logger Pro Linux and uninstalled some programs (games, etc) that are not needed.  Now I'd like to be able to reproduce this customized installation on another computer.  (I do this type of thing routinely with my 50+ iBooks, creating an image then using Disk Utility to restore the image).

I haven't been that successful with finding good instructions for doing something similar with Ubuntu - has anyone found or developed a method?  It would be ideal if it could be done with a bootable flash drive, similar to the Netbook Remix but I haven't found anything on creating the image (.img) that gets copied to the flash drive (using the Ubuntu instructions).  I could also use an external CD drive if needed though.  Or maybe there's a network way to do it?

Thanks for any advice.  Eventually we would have about 50 netbooks, and installing Ubuntu, then LPL, then deleting stuff would be time-consuming.  Maybe Vernier could consider providing their own "netbook remix" including the basic stuff and LPL...

Any thoughts?  Preferably something that linux newbies can understand :-)

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

There's fairly good info on cloning here:
http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/22/how-to-clone-your-bootable-ubuntu-install-to-another-drive/

We'd love to supply custom installations for everyone, but it would take a ton of time.

Thanks for trying Loggerpro Linux.
