If you are mirror your HD I do not think it will. However, I fresh install will
be able to config your pocket pc.

i just want to use the 810 utility to put 810 on a usb, then install on my
netbook. will it be as the 810 cd was, or will it contain all the current
updates?

It depends on the ISO image and where you got it from.

where does it come from when done as i explained? from the original
cd "image" or from a newer updated version?

It occurs to me that you could test this for yourself with a couple hours
experimentation.

That is the point to asking a question.
To not waste hours of time.

When you go to System, Administration, Create usb startup disk, it expects an
ISO image file. If your ISO is downloaded then it is likely them most recent
release which means that it will need to be updated, because it won't be any
different from the one installed from CD. If you create your own ISO image then
it can be anything, including one created from your current installation. This
is then a two step process instead of one. This also leads to the inevitable
process of how to create an image from your current installation. I am not sure
if the user wants to go that far, but if he does perhaps he can ask first.

There is no such thing as a dumb question, only dumb answers.

is there a free program to make an iso from my current image?

There is a programme called Reconstructor for this purpose. It should be in the
repos or from here: http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/
I have never used it. It is for Ubuntu I believe. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstructor

There is also this project: http://www.linux-live.org/

This one has much promise:

A program called remastersys also appears to have potential. I found
information about it in wikipedia.

After he asked the question the first time and didn't get a satisfactory answer,
how many hours since then have been wasted?
