Multiple images per client... interesting feature. At the moment it should be quite easy to setup Linux/Windows dual-boot clients, following the raw-disk cloning howto: http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/HOWTO_raw-disk_cloning_with_SystemImager You could just install the Windows partition in the raw-disk way first and, instead of rebooting, at the end of raw-disk installing script, just quit and continue to install the Linux partitions as usual. Setting up a client with multiple images in general needs some hacks at the moment, or at least you need to install each single image per time and keep attention at the different disk partitioning schemas, to remove potential partition overlaps. -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
