And I don't mean "Phat" in a cool, hip way. ;0)



Smallest .nbi NetBoot set I have been able to make (with AutoCasperNBI) is ~5.5GB. My older DeployStudio NetBoot sets weighed-in at a svelte ~2GB. What gives?



Is Casper NetInstall Image Creator a supported app? If so, why isn't it part of the Casper Suite?



Help me make a lean-and-mean .nbi image, please!



Thank you

The Netinstall creator that JAMF makes does just that but you lose some of the functionality present in a thicker nbi (no SMB libraries to mount SMB volumes during imaging for instance.)



If you can use AFP as a file server protocol the Netinstall Creator is great. Even if it's just a Mac Mini that sits disused until you need to perform mass imaging...



On my 'will never happen' wishlist; an Apple tool that creates fully gui-less command line netboot sets. Stripping all of that out would probably yield an nbi of less than 600MB.


Ahh, got it. NetBoot versus NetInstall.



Bummer about not having SMB libraries in NetInstall Creator.
