This document describes the use of GNU Parted, a program for creating,
destroying, resizing, checking and copying hard drive partitions, and
the file systems on them.
This document applies to 1.6.11 of GNU Parted. The original
version was by Andrew Clausen, and was translated into this format by
Richard M. Kreuter. It is currently maintained by Andrew Clausen.

Disk Imaging
************
Disk imaging is a method for avoiding the tedious Windows install
process. For example, if you want to install Windows and Office on 1000
machines, it'll probably take you about 5 times 1000 hours. Things
aren't so bad with GNU/Linux, because there are programs like Red Hat's
kickstart, which allow you to automate the install of other programs, or
practically anything you need to do. Therefore, disk imaging is really
only used for Windows machines. Obviously, we urge you to not use
Windows (or any non-free software) at all, but we realise that most
organisations would find it impossible switch from Windows to GNU/Linux
(or other free software) without a transition period, where both systems
are available.
With disk imaging, you can burn a CD with a disk image of a
partition containing Windows and Office, and copy the partition
directly onto the hard disks of all the computers, by sticking in a
boot disk and the CD, and letting it fly. But the partition on the
Windows disk is probably going to be bigger, so the partition will also
have to be resized. I've had several people say that they've managed
to automate this process with Linux boot floppies and Parted. It is
possible to use the CDROM only, by using the floppy as the boot image
on the CD. Read the CD writing HOWTO for more information. There are
a few weird things you have to do to get this whole thing to work
(which will be fixed in the next stable series). Anyway, this is the
general process:
1. Install Windows on a machine, with the setup you want. You can
have the partition as big as you want, so long as you don't use
more than 640 MB, and you leave enough room for a complete Linux
install, and another 1300 MB for two copies of the CD image.
2. Install Linux on the machine.
3. Make a directory for the CD image (e.g., `/root/cdimage')
4. Create a 640 MB disk image file (e.g., `/root/cdimage/diskimage')
in the CD image directory:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/cdimage/diskimage bs=1M count=640
5. Use Parted to copy the Windows partition to the disk image:
# parted /root/cdimage/diskimage mklabel msdos
# parted /root/cdimage/diskimage mkpart primary fat32 0 639
# parted /root/cdimage/diskimage cp /dev/hda 1 1
6. Create the CD image from the CD image directory, and burn it to CD
with your favourite CD writing tools.
7. Compile a special version of Parted without native language
support and readline support (or download the special RPM from
Freshmeat):
localhost:~/parted-1.0.0# ./configure --disable-nls --without-readlin\e --disable-shared; make
8. Create a Linux boot disk (see the Bootdisk HOWTO).
9. Put the cut-down version of Parted on the boot disk (or a
supplementary root disk).
10. Write a shell script to do the following:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
parted --script /dev/hda mklabel msdos
parted --script /dev/hda mkpartfs primary fat 0 SOME-SIZE
parted --script /dev/hda cp /mnt/cdrom/diskimage 1 1
parted --script /dev/hda set 1 boot on
/sbin/halt
SOME-SIZE is the size you desire the first partition to use.
11. Start installing! Stick the floppy + CD into each computer, and
let it roll...
Obviously, I can and will make this process a lot easier. We're
considering making a mini-distribution to do this. I wouldn't have
time to maintain such a thing -- any volunteers?
