What I'd like is a bootable CD or thumb drive that does the imaging automatically. I've got my to-be-imaged computer successfully *trying* to boot from the thumb drive by installing syslinux on it, but there's no OS or image to transfer. Does anyone know of a simple method for creating the image, setting up an OS on the removable media, and installing the image on client machines? After a bit of googling, I've seen directions for making the image using dd, dump, and systemimager. Does anyone have recommendations for which to use? Is there something else even better? -- Brent Thomson President Agile Studios www.agilestudios.com 801-426-5782 -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
