Casper NetInstall Image Creator

[#1]

I'm trying to create a NetInstall image using the Casper tools. We've previously done this using Apple's image creator, and this always worked fine, but now I'm trying to use Composer to make the initial image, and then the NetInstall Image Creator to convert it.

Although it boots from the image fine, and starts up Casper Imaging, it only performs the Casper Imaging tasks and never actually reloads the OS from the image! It just re-installs all the relevant packages onto whatever OS is already on the system.

Additionally, the Apple image creator had options to only install to a particular named partition, and an option to choose whether to wipe the drive first or not. This seem to be missing in the Casper tools.

Surely I'm missing something obvious, what's going on?

Hi
I had something like this and it was because my Casper imaging was 7.0 and not 7.01, but I was using 7.01 for all the rest

Which version is it?
