The title says the idea, i need to make my ubuntu server and all the modifications & instalations i do on it be imaged into a CD, with the idea, of course of use this CD to install the clone in another machine, so that way i can easy pass all the info to a new & better machine than the one who was holding it before.
The "why" is because i just can do it through CD (because the pc i want to receive the image is old and can't boot from a USB)
The partition i wanna clone used space in the HDD is very little but the size of the partition counting the not used space is bigger than the CD, in any case i'm thinking reducing it using the ubuntu live cd, if is possible and necesary to create the clone CD
So, i'm gonna make a list of questions:
1) Is it really necesary reduce it? it consider the free space to make the clone or just the used space?
And separated from the "Reduce partition/image bussisness"
2) What is the best method to create the clone to the goal i wanna reach?
Please feel free to ask any question you need to solve this questions
Thanks in advance
PS: i'm a very noobish CentOS & Ubuntu user, linux in general.

1You do not need to make the image bootable. You just need to have the img somewhere so you can clone the image onto the new HDD. – ChrisR. – 2014-03-31T04:06:40.057
@ChrisR. re-read my question and understand your confusion, what you say is true but i need to put this image on a CD and find a way to make than from that CD i can make a clone of the original HDD in another machine. i edit it to clarify this on the question that way i can find the answer i need. thanks – user57129 – 2014-03-31T11:16:30.240
