IMPORTANT:  Throughout this Workstation Imaging section, where information is applicable to only ZENworks 6.5 SP1 and earlier, the parenthetical (SP1 only) is used. Such instances include references to imaging diskettes, language diskettes, and Linux device drivers. For ZENworks 6.5 SP2 and later, the newer zimgboot.exe utility does not support these features.
