Ghost Boot Wizard Remote Installation Service
(RIS) leverages the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) feature of
PC-98 specified computers to provide a remote installation service
for Windows 2000. Symantec Ghost provides a cloning solution
suitable for deployment or migration of any computer operating
system with specific support for Microsoft Windows. Symantec Ghost
also works with Windows systems prepared with the Microsoft SysPrep
tool.
You can create a RIS boot package in the Symantec
Ghost Boot Wizard only when running on a Windows 2000/2003/XP
server with RIS installed. No floppy disk is required. An entry
appears in the RIS menu.
Note: This option only appears if Microsoft Remote
Installation Service is installed on your computer.

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.
