[K12OSN] Kinda OT - Imaging Macs

[Josiah Ritchie]

Not as fast, but FOSS... A Gentoo MAC LiveCD with nc on a memory stick
and a crossover cable can do the trick. I have the procedure written up
on my wiki at http://josiah.ritchietribe.net/pmwiki. You could also do
the same this with UDPCast to several computers at the same time. I
haven't done this yet, but may in the near future as it would be very
useful.
