How can i take an image of usb which contains Ubuntu server installed in it.

Asked by Sai sudhams lanka

Last week i installed ubuntu server 10.4 LTS ( 64 bit) on to a USB drive.
I also installed some other required softwares in that usb and prepared it as a master usb.

I need to take the image of the master usb and put it onto some other machines.

How can i take the image ?
Can you please suggest me some imaging softwares and steps to follow to take the image and how can we install that image on to other machines?

Type command
    man dd
to get explanations on options
Else you can copy/paste partitions with Gparted or use clonezilla.

Can you help with this problem?
