D.5 Imaging Configuration Parameters
(settings.txt)
The settings.txt file contains parameters that control how the imaging boot process occurs. A
copy is located in the /opt/novell/zenworks/zdm/imaging/winutils directory on the
imaging server where ZENworks Linux Management is installed. You should maintain the working
copy of settings.txt at the root of the imaging boot device (CD or DVD, or ZENworks
partition).
Settings.txt is a plain text file that contains various parameters, each on a separate line. Each
parameter has the general format of PARAMETER=value. Lines that begin with a pound sign (#)
signify comments and are ignored during the imaging boot process.
You can edit this file manually in a text editor, or by making configuration changes in the
zimgboot.exe utility (see
(zmediacreator.exe)," on page
IMPORTANT: If you manually edit the settings.txt file to provide any paths to executables,
make sure that you provide the full path, or the executable might not run.
The format and function of each parameter in the settings.txt file are described in
