linux. Distribution package on CD/DVD?

Question

linux

Hello! There is a deployed, configured OpenSUSE. Some programs are installed from repositories, others were collected by handles.
Sometimes a reinstallation is necessary. Are there any ways to "pack" a ready-to-use distribution from a hard drive onto a CD/DVD?

Answer 1

I will now say a very banal thing: tar will save you.
Example: www.aboutdebian.com/tar-backup.htm
you can write a tar file to disk somehow.
I used a variant with gzip compression and on-the-fly transfer of the backup to a remote machine using netcat.
The advantage of this approach: works everywhere and always, does not require additional software.

Answer 2

Acronis/Clonezilla is better for backup. If you definitely need installation, then Suse Studio.
