I am running Ubuntu 12.04 TLS. Is there a way to produce an ISO installable image of my current system so as I could burn the image on a CD and be able to install it on an other laptop ?

I tried Remastersys and several other tools: all of them produce and ISO image which I can not install but only boot with.

    It is possible to backup installed programme by APTonCD and restore when required. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/APTonCD – Pandya May 05 '14 at 08:45

Remastersysis a backup tool that creates your own distro, an .iso as a live CD to install on another machine. This can include all your data, and you can select whether to include the home folder or not. Here is the Remastersys sourceforge page . I hope this helps.
