There is a method using NetRestore and NetRestore Helper from Bombich
Software.  You can download it from bombich.com.  You use NetRestore
Helper to create your image which you can store on a firewire drive.  If
you boot from a bootable partition on the firewire dirve, you can then
use NetRestore to copy your image up to the local hard drive.  If you
want to do this over a network, you will need an OSX Server to run
NetBoot.  It works basically the same way only you are booting off of a
bootable netboot partition on the OSX Server and then you use the
Bombich products.

Dear Colleagues:

Does anybody have a good idea or application that would work for
"ghosting"
a Mac OS X lab?

So far we have been storing a pristine image of our computers on an
external harddrive, and that's very unwieldy, so I am looking for a way
to
clean and refresh (or update) machines without re-installing operating
system and contents one-by-one.

I know there is ghosting available for Windows machines, but have not
been
able to find similar mechanisms for an  OS X lab.

Any info will be highly appreciated.

Best regards from       Jorg
