Dave,
I have four different model IBM's in my school ranging from pIII 1000Mhz
to pIV 2.8 Ghz , currently I use one Master WinXP image for Zenworks
imaging. I can't seem to find any documentation for creating this same
kind of "Master Image" for SLED. I understand that Imaging will be less
of an issue with Linux due to the severely lowered privilege's regarding
installing software into the core operating system, but I still need to
be able to overcome any form of corruption quickly. I would also like to
distribute a dual boot system image for few years.  How do automate the
local host name change for Zenworks importing and management?
