Nick....here in Maine we know a LOT about imaging Mac OS X as every single
7th and 8th grader in the entire state has an iBook.  I developed a method
called Rapid Image Deployment (RID) that will deploy and image in mass
using OS X server and netboot.  Works fantastic.  I use it to do hundreds
of iBooks several times per year...and many folks use it to deploy images
to iMacs...eMacs....and the like.  If you are using a Panther (10.3)
server use this how-to

If using Jaguar server visit this page for the how-to
http://web.vcs.u52.k12.me.us/RID/     Let me know how you make out  :-)
