That is for installs of an entire startup partition (bare metal
installs or a complete wipe of what is there, replacing it with one of
the prepared images).

Looks like a great tool, for initial installs and rollouts, but not
designed or capable of adding packages to a system.

You're wrong...

...again.

Sorry, you'll need to provide the sentences/paragraphs from the
document you provided to show us where I am "wrong".

Try "Installing Software over the Network
When the installation disk image is configured, use the NetBoot pane in Server
Admin to host it on the server. This allows any Mac OS X system on your network
to be configured or updated quickly and easily." found on the top of page 4 from
the link Alan provided.



Instead of just blowing me off with "you're wrong" to try and preserve
your dignity.
