connections.rgy, and properties.rgy.
To include install.nl in your profile directory, simply copy the
install_profile_image.template file (found in the NeoLinux ezUpdate
directory in the templates folder) into your profile directory and
rename it install.nl.

To create the necessary configuration files, first set up a template or
source appliance with the connections and/or properties that you
want to copy to your other appliances.
This can be done at the appliance itself, or can be done by shadow-
ing the appliance using ezRemote Manager (see "ezAnywhere Shad-
owing" on page 63). Once you have set up the template appliance,
you need to create the ezUpdate connections.rgy and properties.rgy
files.
Note: Unless you use the default "factory" profile, be sure to set the
"Appliance Profile" in the thin client appliance's ezUpdate dialog.
The Appliance Profile name must exactly match the profile directory
name. For more information on setting the Appliance Profile name,
see "Manually configuring ezUpdate on the client" on page 95.
