Sorry I top-posted in my last response!  Delete and use this one instead.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your response.  I have seen that site, but it doesn't give information on cloning an existing installation, but rather on starting from scratch (first, download an ISO).  Ideally, I would like my live CD to be an exact clone of my home PC (data excluded).  I suppose if I have to start over and do everything according to those instructions, then so be it, but I was hoping there would be an easier way.

Regards,
Mark
