HP ConfigTailor will now download the operating system version,
drivers and software applications specified in the selected
configuration profile from the deployment database. All software
packages stored in the deployment database are in a special format
designed to make their installation on client PC workstations
completely automatic, with no manual intervention required by the
user.
The user or system administrator is free to go on to another task, or
begin installation on another client PC workstation.
Local Installation
It is not necessary to create or have access to a deployment database in
order to take advantage of the HP ConfigTailor CD-ROM. The CD-ROM
contains all of the device drivers and software applications that were
preloaded onto your HP Kayak PC Workstation, and can be used as a
system backup resource (see also, “Local Recovery, Reinstallation and
Repair” on page 46). Using the HP ConfigTailor CD-ROM (and your
Windows NT 4.0 and Service Pack CD-ROMs), you can easily
install/reinstall your operating environment.
WARNING
The Local Installation procedure will reformat the hard drive of your
PC Workstation!
Boot the PC workstation from the HP ConfigTailor CD-ROM by
following steps 1-3 of the Remote Installation procedure (page 43).

Next and press Enter to continue.
