I am just curious, are you doing some kernel update from time to time? If so, how?

Iḿ curious about that too. And I would wish there was someone who could roll this into a a complete image. I think that's a bit above my current level of ablility, but I'd be willing to try if there were others who could point in the right directions on how to do this.

Everything is a file in Linux (or used to be before Poeterring) so just specify the drive instead of the partition, e.g. if=/dev/sdb not /dev/sdb2. To keep the image size small shrink root (with something like gparted) then get the last sector number of the last partition (gparted provides this info too) and pass that number +1 (for sector 0) to dd as the count= parameter. So if last sector of last partition is #99999 then count =100000. That's it, you just made a complete image.
