2 Use your software for burning CDs or DVDs to burn the bootcd.iso image onto the CD or
DVD.
The bootcd.iso file is located in the /opt/novell/zenworks/zdm/winutils
directory on the imaging server where ZENworks Linux Management is installed

29.2.3 Using the ZENworks Imaging Media Creator

This utility allows you to do the following:
"Managing the Settings.txt File" on page 348
"Creating a Bootable Diskette" on page 351
"Creating a Preboot Bootable Image" on page 353
IMPORTANT: This utility is a .NET application, and therefore requires the .NET framework to be
installed on the Windows device being used to run it.
Managing the Settings.txt File
There two settings.txt files shipped with ZENworks Linux Management:
/srv/tftp/boot/settings.txt: PXE devices use this version of the file for automated preboot
work. This file exists on the imaging server and usually does not need to be modified. During
the boot process, this settings.txt file is read and the necessary settings information is
discovered and used.
/opt/novell/zenworks/zdm/winutils/settings.txt: The imaging server copy of this file needs to
be modified for your network environment and a working copy of it should be maintained at
the root of the imaging boot device (imaging CD or DVD, or a blank floppy diskette). When
burning the imaging CD or DVD, be sure to include the edited copy of this settings.txt
file.
You can manage the content of this copy of the settings.txt file with the ZENworks
Imaging Media Creator utility, as outlined in the following steps.
To manually edit the settings.txt file, see
Parameters (settings.txt)," on page
For more information, see
page 602.
To manage the settings.txt file using the ZENworks Imaging Media Creator utility:
1 On a Windows device, browse to the opt/novell/zenworks/zdm/winutils directory
on your Linux imaging server and run zmediacreator.exe.
You might need to configure Samba on the Linux server in order for the Windows device to
have access to this directory.
