ubuntu-doc Digest, Vol 67, Issue 5

Sat Apr 10 06:25:49 UTC 2010

Hi all,
I dont know whether this is the forum to ask this question.  But please
guide me.  I want to know if there is a way I can burn a copy of Ubuntu
without a ISO file, i.e. supposing I have ubuntu installed on my PC.  Can I
make a copy of the OS installed on my computer, with all the updates
incorporated in it.

Regards
Sumit
