Hi Dan, Yes, good point (re: kernel supporting new architecture). I just finished making a new NetBoot image from 27" Late 2009 iMac...and we were golden. Then we got a shipment of the new i5/i7 MacBook Pro laptops that have an even more recent build. I wish Apple would just release patches to upgrade our images.
