I am creating this on a 13" MacBook Pro with 10.6.2 and it will be the same one being imaged in our labs. Is this what you are referring too? I suspect that this is the standard way of handling this. Create an image on the newest Mac with the latest OS for portability of the image correct? I am using an external hard drive running 10.6.2 so I can create the disk image using Disk Utility, then converting via the Casper software.

What all does it contain? I just tried to make a new netinstall image and It only created NBImageInfo.plist and Install.dmg.sparseimage. It appears to be missing the i386 folder, and its contents.

I am creating this on a 13" MacBook Pro with 10.6.2 and it will be the same one being imaged in our labs. Is this what you are referring too? I suspect that this is the standard way of handling this. Create an image on the newest Mac with the latest OS for portability of the image correct? I am using an external hard drive running 10.6.2 so I can create the disk image using Disk Utility, then converting via the Casper software.

For example, MBP 17" for all notebooks (if you have access to that) and MacPro for all desktops (if you have access to that). If you don't, you go with the highest you have. Since you are using a 13" MBP, then you would not want to image a 15" or 17" from that image. Make sense? I was using a MacPro image running 10.6.1 and trying to use Casper Netboot Creator on a server running 10.5.8. Since the server was not at 10.6.1 or higher, Casper Netboot Creator did not work. So, the machine you are using the Netboot Creator on needs to be the same level as the image you are using to create with. Make sense?
