Look here for example: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec305.html If you want image like ghost, then use the dd command, instead of tar.
Installation file: Most of the distros have an answer file for installation. You can prepare a file like that from your already installed system, and the each installation that will use this file, will install automatically your system. Ofcourse this methode needs more tuning, and to know more about installation of your distro. Kfir
