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
