Editing Boot Disks
Once you have taken the time to create a boot disk, you may find it quicker to create a copy of the boot disk instead of going through the rigor of using the utility included with the imaging software. Keep in mind that using multiple network boots will require that each disk have unique identifiers. Specifically each disk has IP and Computer Name information that must be unique for each machine on the network. Using a DHCP server will alleviate the IP problem, but each disk must still have the Computer Name information edited so that it is different for each boot disk.
The following files can be edited using Notepad or any other ASCII text editor.
