    I have Ghost which I've used for customers who insist on Windows centric
    solutions for backups. I also have Power Quest's Partition Magic 8.0
    and Disk Image. Symantec has just purchased Power Quest and it is
    expected that Disk Image will go away as a product. Some of its
    features will find there way to Ghost. There are some limitations to
    all these products with respect to programmed system generation and
    building.

    I want to be able to not only load standard images but also programmed
    specialization and setup. So I've expanded my requirements to allow
    adding packages, alternate configurations, and yet easy and quick..

    I am guessing that there exists LINUX based automated installation
    tools. I'm still looking.
