=== We declare as experimental
The netboot-product: 'opsi-clonezilla'.
It integrates the 'clonezilla' functions into a opsi netboot-product and enables the automatic mount of a share 'opsi_images' from the opsi-server, that can be used as source/target für the image operation.
The share 'opsi_images' must be created manually.
At the moment, this product is for administrators who have kowledge in the use of clonezilla.
The netboot-product 'ubuntu'.
This product enables the installation of 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 with a statical inventory.
The desktop (none/Gnome/Unity/KDE) may be choosen by a property.
Futhermore the opsi-server packages can be installed with this.
With kind regards,
Birgit Hubal
