[SOLVED] Make USB bootable with installed Arch Linux

Hello,

I had installed arch linux long time back, comes here after windows and manjaro.
I happy with the concept that it comes only with basic linux, nothing more than OS, everything need to be installed manually.

If I have to install arch linux on other systems, I have to perform same task again and again.
But, there is an option of cloning the OS to that system.

My question, is there any option or a process to make USB drive bootable of my installed linux system with all UI, softwares and dependencies installed.
So that I just plug the USB in computer just like when we are installing linux from scratch.
And it boot up with everything installed (as in manjaro), but I don't want to mention manjaro here as it includes a lot of packages and software which don't like.

Also it helps me when I crashed the system and wanted to reinstall it back (i am using timeshift for the purpose) but want technique for the process.
Any ideas about this are welcome.

Thankyou

Re: [SOLVED] Make USB bootable with installed Arch Linux

I had searched for it before posting.

The link you shared is to install arch on removable media, but I don't want to install it to removable media.
My need is different, I not want to install linux on removable media instead I want to make bootable USB with modified version of arch linux.
I have bootable USB with arch linux, I use it to chroot to the installation incase of any error.

I just want to make removable media bootable with modified version of arch linux similarly that I have on my system with UI, firefox and other softwares installed.
Purpose for that is to install arch on other system with all necessary things ready and help in arch-chroot.
I thought it might be not possible and thus not want to post, but there are many talented people here.

Thanks for the answers and ideas about this

Yes, installing on removable media works as required.
I thought that after separate installation, I will not able to chroot to the system as it requires when system halts.

Thank you
