Using the Altiris Boot Disk Creator Utility, an administrator can create boot floppies. The administrator

can then use these boot floppies with the Virtual Floppy and Virtual Media/universal serial bus (USB)

tools to create a bootable image anywhere on the network. The administrator can boot from these

virtual floppies and connect to the RDP Deployment Server to complete the installation and

deployment process.

If a PXE server is available, the administrator can boot into RDP directly via PXE instead of making

boot floppies and using Virtual Media.
