Today I created a site in MOSS 2007 that I want to save as a template to use on other site. I was unable to find the link in site settings: ' Save site as template", after searching the net I found this solution:
Just add " _layouts/savetmpl.aspx" at your URL of your site, and their is your screen to save the site as template.
I don't known the source anymore, but here one of mike walsh:
