28.3.1 Preboot Bundles
In ZENworks Linux Management, Preboot Services uses bundles to apply Preboot Services work to
devices. For example, Preboot bundles can contain tasks, such as restoring an image, that are
performed at the time a device boots.
In order for a device to utilize a Preboot bundle, the bundle must be assigned to the device, its group,
or its folder.
The available Preboot bundles are:
Š “AutoYaST Bundle” on page 323
Š
“Dell Configuration Bundle” on page 324
Š “Kickstart Bundle” on page 324
Š
“ZENworks Image Bundle” on page 324
Š “ZENworks Multicast Bundle” on page 324
Š
“ZENworks Script Bundle” on page 325
AutoYaST Bundle
Provides the location and access protocol for installing using AutoYaST, including the network
installation directory for SUSE
®
Linux. This bundle allows you to launch an automated installation
of SUSE Linux using Preboot Services.
