No, I understood him perfectly. There is nothing wrong with imaging if you have a large number of computers with the same hardware and very few changes in the software in the future. There are plenty of tools for people who like this idea. Unattended is a tool for people who do not like this idea. This is what we tell on the website. > Unfortunately Evan (OP) adds little to the discussion in terms of > giving suggestions when imaging might be a good idea or under what > circumstances "Software Repackaging" might be a good idea.

Well, I think there is no reason to write again what Patrick tells in <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php#repackaging>. However, I'm looking forward to a rich and intererting discussion. cu Niels ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
