[Casper] Problems netbooting emacs

Me too,
I have a NetBoot image for our older machines like Ted stated below. Works 
great and easy to update with each new version of Casper Imaging.

700 MHz and 800 MHz eMacs will not NetBoot any version of Mac OS X 
10.5, because Leopard is not officially supported by Apple on those 
computers.  I keep a 10.4.11 PPC based NetBoot image just for working 
with some of these troublesome older G4 based computers, since a few 
of them have had reports of graphics issues with Leopard.

I've decided to use my own NetBoot image that auto-launches Casper 
Imaging, rather than the Casper Net Install Creator based image, which 
allows me to enable Apple Remote Desktop and monitor the imaging 
process better.
