If you wish to set a specificate image to install click under default configuration and select "Specify dynamic item." Another box will appear and in this box you will need to name the image which you made. To do this you will need to go to Netrestore menu and then click preferences. Within this you can set the options for the NetInstall for automated imaging. You will then have the NetRestore tool open up. Near the end of the NetInstall set being made you will be asked if you wish to configure net restore say yes to this. If you are using NetInstall of the Mac Server you will need to put it into /Macintosh HD/Libary/NetBoot/NetBootPS0/. You will then be asked where to save the net install. When you have done that you can then click "Save NetInstall-Restore set". Once you have finished with all the settings you then need to click the pad lock and put in a Administrators password. On this you can enable Remote Desktop so you can monitor how your image is going. Once you have filled in all these boxes you can add a few extra options by clicking the advance setting button. Also you can file a bit of a description in so for this example I will put in "OS X 10.4.11 with iLife" For this example i will name this one "12". After that you then need to set the image ID this can be anything from 1 - 4095 i always go up in twos. For this example I will call my name "Macintosh OS_X_10_4_01022008" I always find it helps to date a image so i don't get confused. In this part you need to name your image. When in NetRestore helper you need to click on the Create NetInstall Set tab at the top of NetRestore Helper.
In this application you can make the image file like we did with the OS X DVD but its complicated to use when you want to make a image of the drive you are using. Once downloaded you then need to run a program called NetRestore helper. Once you have plugged the firewire/USB drive into your OS X server you then will need to download the Netrestore utility. In this example of using NetRestore I will be doing this from OS X 10.4 Server to make things easier. Once the image has finished you then can go onto your admin computer or server. I also suggest you use compression as images can get quite big. I suggest you do this by putting the image on a external drive or another drive in the apple mac. Once you done that you will then be asked where to store the image. Once in the disk utility you then need select the disk you wish to make a image of and select image at the top of Disk Utility. Then you need to go to the utility menu at the top and select Disk utility. Once you are into the OS X installation disk first press next on the first box that comes up. Just before you hear the chime go hold down the C key on your keyboard.*I advice you hold it down until you see the wheel spinning around.*

The most easy way i find is *to use a Mac OS X DVD. Once this is done you need to take the image off.
This can be by making sure the OS is upto date and clearing all rubbish and making sure all*relevant*software is installed. First of all which needs to be done is you need to get your image all ready.
