22 Introduction

Deployment Using Removable Boot Media Without a Network Connection

(CD-Based)

Create a deployment CD containing a bootable image with the

appropriate drivers. The CD must also include the complete deployment

directory structure, which contains all the DTK utilities, scripts,

and configuration files, an operating system installation answer file,

and the required operating system installation files and drivers.

Insert the bootable CD into the CD drive of the system to be deployed

(the target system).

Boot or reboot the target system.

The deployment process begins:

• Windows PE or embedded Linux, as the case maybe, is loaded

from the CD.

• The DTK scripts execute the necessary DTK utilities from the CD.

• Configuration information is read from the CD.

• The operating system is installed from the CD.

Network-Based Deployment (Remote)

For Windows PE environments, deployment using RIS is recommended.

(For details, see the Microsoft RIS documentation.) You can also use any other

deployment tool such as ADS.

For embedded Linux environments, a PXE set up is recommended.

(For details, see documentation available on your Linux operating system.)
