So I have went through and edited XBMC to my liking. The problem is that I wish to put it on several HTPC's throughout my house, and several family members have also expressed interest. I really don't want to have to go through and reconfigure all the settings and what not for each one. Is there any easy way I can make a custom ISO of my system? I am using OpenElec. If someone could point me in the right direction here it would be much appreciated.

I am looking for the simplest method, and in my mind that would be to create a custom ISO, that has all my settings and what not in place. So right after install, it would look just like the original system I have configured. If that is not possible, is there a way that I can just copy my settings and place them into the new system? I would also like for all my add-on's to be transferred to the new machine; along with my pictures that I use for the background. And of course my settings.

Is this the correct forum for this question? Should I have asked it in the OpenElec forum?

copy the "userdata" and the "addons" directory to each new install.. if you have issues loading with different hardware, you may need to remove/changename of the guisettings.xml (this will rebuild the default if its not there automatically on xbmc boot) and reconfigure for different hardware as this file has the hardware (video/audio) settings as well as the skin settings. I found the best way if the hardware is different is to copy everything except the guisettings.xml, then copy everything in the <skinsettings> from your current guisettings.xml to the new one.. this will keep your skin settings, you will just need to re-setup xbmc settings if needed.

I suppose the general forum is the place to ask and receive general questions, a more specific targeted answer would come from the OpenElec forum. So in that spirit I direct you to these links..

I believe there is a solution for putting OpenElec on a thumb drive, not sure about ISO

try this I have used this for making backups of my image so I can restore it.
The main thing is hardware related so if you use the same hardware across the board it simple but if you change out GPU, CPU, MB you can run into issues.
