Deployment script for dual-boot computers



Currently using Deploy Studio for system imaging and modular deployment of packages in a lab environment. I am resizing the boot partition of disks0, creating a back-end MS-DOS partition on this same disk, and formatting disks1 as a data-only drive through an ARD UNIX-command. I am then using WinClone to format the back-end partition and install Windows XP for dual-booting. All of this manipulation is being performed on known-sized hard drives (i.e. all of my lab computers have 320G disks0 and 500G disks1).

I would like to modify my script so it can be extended to other labs and need to take into account (a) there may be only 1 installed disk (iMacs) and (b) the disks0 may not be 320G in size.

My scripting abilities are somewhat limited so I'm looking for a little help. I know 'diskutil list' will provide me with the # of disks and disk sizes but I do not know how to collect this data and use it for my needs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Allen
