The Ghost Boot Wizard helps you create boot disks
that provide network support for GhostCasting and TCP/IP
peer-to-peer connections.
Before you start this process, you need to know
the types of network cards that are installed on your client
computers. Unless you use the multicard template, you must create a
boot disk for each network card.

In the Ghost Boot Wizard window, click
Network Boot Disk.

|
|
Select the network driver for the make and
model of the network card installed on the client computer.
|
If the correct driver is not in the
list, add the driver.
You can add more than one driver to
the boot package.

7.
|
|
Click Symantec Ghost to create a boot package
for the client that loads Symantec Ghost. You can connect to a
running GhostCast Server to transfer image files to and from the
client.
|
The default path to Ghost.exe is
entered in the Ghost.exe field. If the executable has been moved,
or you want to use a different version of Ghost.exe, type the
correct path.

|
|
In the Parameters field, type any required
command-line parameters.

Click Next.
|
|
10.
|
|
Do one of the following:
|
- Click DHCP will assign the IP settings if
your network contains a DHCP server.
- Click The IP settings will be statically
defined and complete the fields below this option if your
network does not contain a DHCP server.
If you create more than one
boot disk, then the static IP address incrementally increases as
each boot disk is created.

|
|
If you want to alter the number of router hops
then select the correct number in Router Hops.
|
This specifies how many routers the
client searches across when attempting to find the Multicast
Server. The default value of 16 lets Ghost find the server as long
as it is not more than 16 router hops away. This is sufficient for
most networks.

Ensure that Format disk(s)
First is checked to format the disks before disk
creation.
|
Ensure that this option is checked
unless you are creating a custom boot disk with custom system
files. If this option is unchecked, the boot disk is not
bootable.
