Hi Friends!!!. Is it possible to make live iso image of a current running arch system? are there any tools available for that?(I want to do this cause When i install a new arch system, I want to remain my own customizations intact)

You know that when you install you are pulling from an online repo, right? So I am not sure how you plan on achieving that. Maybe scripting your install procedure, but all the configs and whatnot are not going to be how you like them.

Have you searched at all? This has been covered frequently, eg:

OK, so after reading the posts, I think that this is not possible.but i think this sould be feature which should be researched upon cause everytime I install arch on a new machine(arch reinstalls on same machine are very rare cause it's a rolling release and has excellent recovery tools) I have to spend a 5-6 hours of time configuring the system.so, i think it should be a feauture that should be worked upon.for eg. like you could chroot into the iso created and then replace the deafult configs by the one on your system or a system scanner which scans the changes on the system with respect to default arch installation and make the necessary changes to the live image.Thanks friends for your replies. I mark this thread as solved.

You can simply reuse your existing home and etc on the new systems, if you want to have similar setups.
