Deploying Operating Systems
After the system hardware is versioned and configured, an operating system
can be installed using unattended setup files, samples of which are provided
as part of DTK. While these sample configuration files are operating system
specific, they have been enhanced for Dell systems. See your operating system
documentation for more information about how to modify these unattended
installation files.
For Windows PE, the sample configuration files contain examples to deploy
the following operating systems:
• Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1
• Windows Server 2008 SP2 (32-bit and 64-bit)
NOTE: For the latest supported operating systems, see the Windows PE
documentation.
For embedded Linux, the sample configuration files contain examples to
deploy the following operating systems:
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server version 5.7 (32- and 64-bit)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server version 6.1 (64-bit)
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 10 SP4 (64-bit)
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11 SP2 (64-bit)
