So, I've been able to create an image and zap it out of the network to another computer, WooHoo! Thanks a lot for everyone's help with that. As always, I'm working with Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft on both the client and server. 1) My main issue now seems to be that on reboot the computer that's been newly re-imaged does not recognize the network. I have to go in and manually activate the network adapter (no longer eth0, now it's eth1). Does anyone else have experience with this type of thing and how to fix it? 2) Is there an append option for the autoinstallcd to make it reboot or shutdown after being imaged? That beeping is nice for now, when I'm imaging a client in the other room, but it won't be when I'm imaging a few hundred computers in classrooms and leaving the process running over the weekend. 3) My current configuration scheme is designed for use with Norton Ghost which we were using until recently. It involves rc.local checking at boot time whether the machine's macaddress corresponds to that of the golden client, and if not then whether it's hostname is nordx--image, if so then it runs an autoconfig script. The autoconfig script wgets a comma-delimited plain-text file from an apache server, searches through it for it's own MAC address and, using the identity variables that it gets, changes its hostname, sets up its printer, etc. With SystemImager, I know there are all kinds of spiffy scripts that get called during the installation process at different times and in different circumstances, so I'm sure there's a better way to do this autoconfiguration than what I'm doing. However, I can't seem to find documentation of how they work at wiki.systemimager.org. Might the documentation exist somewhere else for my perusal? Thanks in advance. I hope this finds you all having a great day! Take care. Simón
