The above scenarios I described are "wrong"? Not at all. It says you
can create multiple images and I described what 3 typical images could
look like. This wasn't a trick question. It was perfectly obvious
what they were describing.

How is your image creating going? I anxiously await your Netinstall
application image that I can test, instead of quoting PR data sheets.

Can you tell me again about the new Apple graphics cards that are
available for my Mac Pro?
