I have an X Serve running 10.4....
The company I lease my computers from gave me the new Tiger CD so I can upgrade all the current clients from 10.3. I put it in the X Serve and ran the System Image Utility.... it ripped the Tiger DVD, etc....... I made it accessable via NFS.
How do I make the clients install it? (I selected automated install... and not to erase the entire hard disk - I just want it to upgrade). Is this a simple process? Does it sound like I have set it up correctly? I upgraded one client using the disc manually... and it went fine... didn't delete any local files, etc.... will the install from the server be as clean? (I'm a bit scared). Oh, and I don't have Office as a package on the image, but each computer has it installed - it won't remove it will it?
Any comments on this would be really appreciated.......
Also, does anyone know of a good backup program for X Serve? I have about 4GB of personal drives I want to backup onto DVD. For some reason, just trying to burn them as normal (drag and drop onto a blank DVD) doesn't work. Any advice?
Cheers guys....
