[Casper] Dual-Boot partitioning

[NATHANIEL.LINDLEY at spps.org]

I guess I hit Send too soon.

 You can't adjust partition size in Casper Imaging (that I've found).   We 
have used different scripts in the past, but are trying to native tools 
for this. 
When I set Additional Partitions in the Configuration settings.
If you set the size to 50GB and the percentage to 30% then the LARGEST 
that the partition will be is 50GB and it will take up no more than 30% of 
the available space.   The Macintosh HD will be at least 70% of the drive. 
  So on a 500GB drive, my windows partition will be 50GB and the Mac 
partition will be 450GB (roughly speaking).  And on a 120GB drive the 
Windows partition will be 36GB (Actually 33GB b/c drive available is 
111GB) and the Mac partition will be 84GB .   This will work for me now 
that I understand it.  I thought it was the other way, make the partition 
at least 50GB and up to 30% of drive.  We may want to adjust those 
settings but the principal is the same.

When somemone needs a different partition size, we can me a new config, :( 
or they can partition with script or Disk Utility.

Here is what I figured out so far.  You can't adjust partition size in 
Casper Imaging (that I've found).   We have used different scripts in the 
past, but are trying to native tools for this.

I'm using a winclone image with just a regular configuration (not using an 
additional partition).  Just use Disk util to create the Windows partition 
at whatever size you want, then lay the image down directly to that 
Windows partition.

I'm working with Casper Imaging version 7 and the Casper Admin tool allows 
you to set second partitions for Dual-Boot.  You can set a size and % of 
drive.   then a Winclone image for that 2nd partition. 
However, I don't see a way in Casper Imaging (when NetBooted) to adjust 
the partition size at the time of imaging.    Say the configuration was 
set to 32GB - 35% of drive and I want 50% for a particular computer.   Can 
I adjust the partition size in Casper Imaging, or will I need to setup 
multiple configs in CasperAdmin for different partition sizes?
