10.4: Create a Tiger image for cloned Net Installs
Authored by: bborofka on Jul 06, '05 09:32:25PM

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Apple's System Image Utility that comes with the 10.4 Server Admin Tools. It's designed exactly for this situation, as is NetRestore. It's free too.

We're testing it at our University. It seems to work pretty well with a few minor issues. It has basically has all the functionality of Bombich's software, except it rolls NetRestore and NetRestore Helper into 1 solution. You don't need to create an "Install Set" that clients boot to and then the actual Mac image. SIU makes a "NetInstall" image that clients boot to and also install from, requiring just one image. The install process is guided through a familiar, Installer.app-like interface.

SIU looks promising.

C.C.C does work with Tiger but you need to be loged in as Root. Or you could use Brian Hill's "Pseudo" to run it.
