Re: [LUAU] Open Source Ghosting






Actually I guess this is where my Windows Administrative knowledge will 
come
in. All ghost does Windows wise is run sysprep, sysprep is a free utility
that is part of W2k and XP. Sysprep allows you to enter License key, Net
Bios, and basically everything else that is entered during setup. So from
what we know now this would be very easy, make a hard drive image of a
windows install that had sysprep run on it, but no information entered. 
This
would give us a generic Windows install install that would be unique for
every machine it was loaded on. This would be even easier if whoever needs
the image done has a Volume License Key. So what does everyone think? Want
to do this instead of wasting money on proprietary Norton Ghost? We could 
at
least give this a try before we buy Ghost.
