Hello, I've written a script that deploys a pre-defined bootcamp.winclone image to a machine via self service. I'd love to get feedback/recommendations on it. It's my first time using github for tracking changes, so please excuse any noobish misses:

Thank you!

I'm working with your script and it is failing on the "ntfslabel" option. I don't see that in the .winclone package and don't know what to add there. I'm using WinClone 3 Pro and it works when I use the WinClone app but not via script, yet.

Winclone leverages ntfs-prods which is apart of the NTFS-3G project. ntfslabel is a binary included with NTFS-3G that installs to: /Library/NTFSProgs/ntfslabel

NTFS-3G download: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/

just copy ntfslabel into your .winclone.

sorry for the delay, I must have missed the notification about your response.

I'm very interested in this. I'm looking at the script, and was curious if anything needed to be changed in order to use it with 10.8.x Macs as well?

Jeff, you sir are a god amongst men! I'm pretty grateful for this!

(btw: love your "star wars" comment in the code ;) )

barret55, it appears the script currently checks for current OS version as 10.7* or it fails. It was written when 10.7* was the latest version. You'll want to modify this for Mountain Lion in several places. It's annotated pretty well in comments.
