I can't thank you enough..... however I am looking for some help.. beg beg I have sucessfully built this configuration using Server 2003, DHCP Server, IIS and anon FTP service. I have followed all of the PXE options and it works!! However, for newer laptops and desktops that use the intel 1000 e1000e network cards the driver is not supported in the kernal, so although it PXE boots you have no IP address when typing ifconfig. I have tried adding a newer kernal than 3.36 but when the client PXE boots the VGA is messed up. Can you advise me how to use a newer kernal like 3.82 and using G4L 0.33 instead of G4L 0.22 ?? I will hail you as my king forever if you can give me some guidance. Regards, TrixyB djtristanbuckley[at no spam]hotmail[dot]com This guide is brilliant.

I had to re-image 65 HP Compaq desktops loaded with Vista to an XP pro OS. I set up a Debian server and a small network and imaged three at a time. (that is all I had room for). It did take a good while but it was faster than loading DVDs, one at a time. Nice work. Phenomenal! I had to re-image 65 HP Compaq desktops loaded with Vista to an XP pro OS.

I generally use Linux servers for storing the images and vsftpd as the server. I've also used the front-end script options to help those users that would have less knowledge. With the latest version, there are options to have multiple scripts, and even have them in user directories. Not clear if you are backing up mostly NTFS partitions or a various set of partitions. The NTFSCLONE option on the g4l menu only copies the files, so it is fast. The client option you have mentioned is using partimage. Thanks again for putting out the information.
