4.0 Point of Service Images

Point of Service terminals boot two images—a boot image and a client image. To deploy Novell® Linux Point of Service, you must provide boot and client images for your Point of Service terminals. Novell Linux Point of Service provides templates for boot and client images that can be customized and used to generate new images using the ImageBuilder utilities.

NOTE:When you select the NLPOS Image Server during the Administration Server installation, the ImageBuilder utilities (scr and xscr) are installed on the Administration Server with all the files and directories required to create Point of Service images. The Image Description Trees and their associated files are written to /opt/SLES/POS/system/image_name-version/. The ImageBuilder utilities can also be installed on a dedicated Image Building server. For further information on installing the image building tools, see Setting Up the Administration Server or Setting Up a Dedicated Image Building Server in the Novell Linux Point of Service 9 Installation Guide.
