[Casper] casper partitioning

[Thomas Larkin]

You can use diskutil from the command line and write a pre action script
that runs and wipes the drive with the GUID partition instead of using
APM.  It wouldn't cost anything and you wouldn't have the overhead of
loading an application at netboot.

Just an idea though.

we discovered that having the wrong partition scheme on intel based macs

makes it impossible to upgrade to leopard.
must be GUID not APM.
well i used a utility called ipartition which not only can change 
partition scheme's non destructively, it can resize partitions between
amc 
and windows & add an efi partition if need be.
I have added this utility to my netboot infrastructure. it is sweet. and

only $50.
