Been there, tried that.

Still think the best solution is to get 1,000 monkeys typing at 1,000
keyboards for 1,000 hours.

Sorry to say, but I spent most of August stuggling with the same
problem and this comes from my most unpleasant experience.  You can
try experimenting for the next 1,000 hours and in the end you'll be
staging each machine individually.  Do yourself a favor and save the
1,000 hours of experimenting -- go right to the punch line and don't
waste time trying to distribute the image.

Send your thanks to Bill Gates et al for thinking of us network
administrators on this one.
