The Linux Scripting Toolkit provides
sample jobs to capture and deploy supported Linux operating systems.
Before you begin
To run the
Capture Linux Image sample
job, the
Altiris Agent must
first be installed on the donor system. The scripted operating system
installation jobs provided by the
Linux Scripting Toolkit install
the
Altiris Agent automatically.
If you are cloning an operating system that was not installed by the
Toolkit, you must install the
Altiris Agent manually.
