"Installing" a copy of a running system on another computer is more like a backup and restore than it is like an installation, so you're probably best off looking in the backup category of tools.
I would recommend clonezilla. Boot the clonezilla distro, and capture an image of your system onto whatever media you want to use. You might image it on to a removable hard drive and later write those files to a DVD. Later you can boot the clonezilla distro again and restore the image that you captured in order to "install" the system.

REAR (relax and recover) is another option, if you want a backup you can re-install from, as opposed to an actual cloned live image.
Hi,
probably you are looking for Anacondas kickstart feature. A kickstart installation can be used to install all your packages and provide basic system configuration. It is possible, but not meant to be used as, to even configure the system as you have it currently running using post-install scripts. [1] seems to be a quite good resource to get started with kickstart installations.
This is meant to be used if you plan a roll-out on multiple (many) machines where an manual installation is not applicable (in this case some kind of configuration management should be used to keep track of the configurations deployed). If you just want a single (or just some few) system(s) as hole clone of your system (including full configuration), backup and restore seems better.
best regards Markus Lange
