I ran the Capser Netinstall app on our netboot/Casper server. The
netboot images and Casper packages are on a mounted X-raid volume. I
pointed the Casper Netinstall app at an old 10.5.3 image and Casper
Imaging 6.1 and had it dump the nbi folder onto the NetbootSP0. I'd
do this and it would take some maybe twenty minutes to do it's thing
where it looks like it's creating the dmg but it's apparently not as
the dmg is like 48mb instead of 12gigs. Once it's done, it asks for
the admin password which I provide. Thereafter the nbi folder exists
but all there is within it is a plist file as the dmg mysteriously
disappears.<br>

<pre wrap="">I used it elusively over the summer to image our 6,000 Macs all which we did by netbooting. When you run netinstall creator you should point it to the volume that has the netbootSP0 folder on it. For example, I keep all my nbi files on a separate partition over the OS. So if I need to wipe the OS then the netboot is still right there.
Can you please list the exact steps you took to create your netboot installer?

<pre wrap=""><!---->Has anyone used the Casper Netinstall Image Creator? Everytime I use
it, and have it save to the Netboot folder, all it does us create a
nbi folder with a pref file in it and that's it. If I have it save
onto the desktop, it creates the dmg as it should, but I just can't
get it to save to the Netboot folder. Anyone has any ideas?
