I won't some one to test out something. I want you to use this software on your dt and test it out: http://www.mondorescue.org/
It's a disk cloning software. The website should pretty much tell you what to do. Pretty much if it works it will allow you to copy your OS to USB. That USB should then be bootable and be able to transfer that copy of your OS to your webdt and for that matter any other webdt that is the same model as yours. If you have tested it and you trust that it works I ask that you do another test. Format the Hard drive on your webdt so that there is no OS on your webdt then use what you have done on the usb to copy the os back on to your webdt. when ever it does that reboot and disconnect the usb flash dongle. If your os loads well then there will be no doubt that it works. After that you basically can take that USB flashdrive and attach it to your desktop, copy the files to your computer, and compress it. You can that upload that compressed copy online so it can be downloaded. Some one can then download it, decompress it and transfer it over to usb flash drive and pop that usb flash drive into their webdt and load it onto their webdt hard drive. After it's done they should be able to reboot, remove that flash drive and when it boots up it should work exactly like yours. I'm poor at explaining things so I hope this came across clear.. If you try it and get it to work essentially we walk away with an installer that will be able to be used on any distro that has mondo rescue package available.
