field blank, and skip to Step 5 of “Associating an Add-On Image with a Base Image” on
page 472.
9 If you are using Preboot Services but formerly booted from ZfD Workstation Imaging (Linux)
partitions on workstations, you can delete the ZfD imaging partition at the same time you put
down an image. To do so, select the Delete the ZENworks Imaging Partition, If It Exists,
When Bringing Down The Base Image check box. You can delete the ZfD imaging partition
only when the workstation is booted from an imaging boot device or method other than the
ZfD imaging partition.

Associating an Add-On Image with a Base Image
1 Create the add-on image that you will associate with the base image. For more information,
see “Creating an Add-On Image” on page 469.
2 Copy the image file to a ZfD Workstation Imaging server that is accessible as a server object
in your NDS or eDirectory tree.
You might want to copy the add-on image to the same location as the base image.
3 In ConsoleOne, open the NDS or eDirectory tree and browse to the Workstation Image object
that refers to the base image. If you haven’t created this object yet, do so as instructed in
“Creating a Workstation Image Object” on page 471.
4 Right-click the object > click Properties.
5 Under Add-on Image Files, click the Add button > select the imaging server where the add-
on image resides > select or specify the path and filename of the image > click OK.
For details on selecting or specifying the path and filename, click Help in the Image File
Location dialog box.
You can associate more than one add-on image with a base image. The add-on images will be
put down after the base image in the order listed on this page.
6 Click OK to save the Workstation Imaging object.
Using a Variant of an Image
As explained in “Customizing an Image” on page 470, you can exclude individual files and folders
from any of 10 possible filesets (variants) of an image. The variants exist merely as internal
attributes of the same image archive.
Because creating an image of a workstation can take a fair amount of time, it is more efficient in
some cases to just create an image of a few workstations and customize those images to get all the
variants you need. Even though the variants do not all exist as separate, physical image files, you
