Hi,
I was wondering if someone could tell me the best way to Backup my current Configuration of Linux Mint 4.0 Gnome. I am still new to Linux and I understand that Apt On CD does not really do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

Give Remastersys a try. It actually makes a live CD of your current installation, and you can reinstall your current system from the CD just like a regular Linux distro. It is a local project. http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=120

Thank you I will give it a try, I see its not available in Synaptic Package Manager, were would I get a version of this program and is it hard to install?

Here is a link to the wiki page with a little more info: http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/Remastersys
Open a terminal, and run Replace gedit with kate if your using KDE. Find the Romeo line. Delete the comment (#)from in front of the line.
BEFORE: ## +++ Romeo (Linux Mint Unstable) +++
## deb http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo daryna
AFTER: ## +++ Romeo (Linux Mint Unstable) +++
deb http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo daryna
This will enable the Romeo source. Run Then remastersys should show up in the package manager. It will install with no trouble. I think the latest version comes with a graphical front end that should be in your menu after installing.
Open a terminal, and run
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
BEFORE: ## +++ Romeo (Linux Mint Unstable) +++
## deb http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo daryna
AFTER: ## +++ Romeo (Linux Mint Unstable) +++
deb http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo daryna
This will enable the Romeo source. Run
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
