I hate re-inventing the wheel... But that's what I've been doing all week. System Administration/IT work seems to involve a lot of this. For instance: Our development image is around 12gigs, and it takes about 4 hours to install/configure a laptop from scratch. We use Ghost to clone the setup onto the other machines. That involves booting off a dos floppy, installing the network drivers and transferring the hard drive image. Well our new laptops don't have floppy drives, they also have gigabit ethernet hardware that I don't have Dos drivers for. I found drivers but not on the manufacturerer's or Dell's websites (that would have been too easy.) I then had to learn how to make a bootable CD with everything I needed. This generally involves making a bootable floppy and then transfering the image to the CD. This was yet another ordeal, but after much frustration I found Bart's Bootdisks which simplified matters. The docs were a bit weird.. I went through 9 CDs until I got everything sorted out. Blah...
