Create a new Image

Hello,

Does the creation of a new image depends on the original base image?

Let's say I at this point, i think the base image has some issues (not
sure, I adapted the environment).

But there is an existing image called "Office" which is working. Can I
create a new image using the "Office" image?


Thanks,
Toan

  My understanding is that every image can be used as a base image. We
label an image as a "base image" when we intend it to be use to then
install application software - but the name doesn't actually make it
special.

  So I think you can take an image named "Office", make whatever changes
you want (e.g. uninstall the Office software) and then save it under a new
name (which could be "Base") and then use that image as a base for other
images.
