Images usually take slightly longer to put down than they do to take.

13a At the Linux prompt, type lilo.s, then press Enter.

Using a Hard Disk for Disconnected Imaging Operations
When you boot a device from a ZENworks Linux Management imaging boot media, you can create
an image on, or put down an image from, any primary partition on an IDE or SCSI hard drive. You
can also use the local ZENworks partition if one is installed. Any target partition must have
sufficient space.
When you create an image, the partition where you store the image is itself excluded from the
image. When you put down an image, the source partition is not altered.
You can create or put down an image on a hard disk using either the bash prompt or using the
ZENworks Imaging Engine menu.
