When creating images, apparently the prevailing theory is that you should create an image for each form factor - use an emac to create an emac image, ibook G4 - ibook G4 image, etc. I am trying to understand if the reason for that was if there was something unique to the OS for each form factor or if it was what happened after the OS was installed during the process of installing all the other components of the image.
I work in a school where we have iBook G4's, eMacs, MacBooks and Intel iMacs.
I don't know where you read that prevailing theory but it's not true. You can have a single image per architecture (PPC or Intel) unless you have a different reason for another image. I have 1 image for PPC Tiger and 1 for Intel Tiger. There is nothing different installed for different form factors with the exception of maybe santa rosa Macs but that was a weird situation. And now with Leopard, 1 image will work with both architectures.
PS. This is the wrong list for this. You should join system-imaging list.
