I have a .vdi file of openSUSE-13 in my host system Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Can I create a .iso image of openSUSE for installation, which contains all the applications in my vdi file?




  • The .vdi file is about 25GB in size and 11GB of it is the used space.

          From Virtualbox forums:



          VBoxManage clonehd file.vdi output.iso --format RAW

          dd if=output.iso of=/dev/sd*


          Now it is on a bootable usb of what ever size.

          • This answer says that it's not an ISO but that that doesn't matter. I've tried this in the past and forget whether it works. Other issues may occur, but I'll bet SUSE won't have problems: superuser.com/questions/114445/…
