I was just wondering if there was a way to build an install disk from my current install, including all the programs and settings I already have set?

That way, there would be no need to re-download all the programs that normally come with Ubuntu, and cut install time by a huge chunk (I live in a fairly remote area, so internet is not so good)

Thanks

Thank you very much. I'm having to juggle partitions and everything and I just decided to reinstall and completely wipe the HDD instead of messing with partitions that much.

This will seriously cut downtime.
