HI 

I am working on a topology in GENI where I have to use Ubuntu 14.04. I set up the vm's which come with default OS of Ubuntu 12.04 and then did a upgrade that takes around 2 hours. 

Is it possible that I can save a copy of the vm's so that In case I need to create a new flack, i can re use the vm images? 

Thanks

Yes. In Flack, if you click on the blue (I) in the node box, you will get a
screen, and on that screen is a button to create an image. Click that
button and fill in a name for your image. Be sure to remember that name,
and reuse it the next time you create an experiment. You will see that in
same screen, a place to specify the image to use.
