If the simple copying of an image leaves you with an unbootable system

What makes you say this? If the systems are identical why can't you just
copy the raw disk from the master system?

Dave,
I have four different model IBM's in my school ranging from pIII 1000Mhz
to pIV 2.8 Ghz , currently I use one Master WinXP image for Zenworks
imaging. I can't seem to find any documentation for creating this same
kind of "Master Image" for SLED. I understand that Imaging will be less
of an issue with Linux due to the severely lowered privilege's regarding
installing software into the core operating system, but I still need to
be able to overcome any form of corruption quickly. I would also like to
distribute a dual boot system image for few years. How do automate the
local host name change for Zenworks importing and management?
