Abstract
In some embodiments, a computer accessible medium comprises a plurality of instructions which, when executed: cause a modification of an image of files created from a computer system having first hardware; and cause the image to be copied to a computer system having second hardware different from the first hardware. A difference between the first hardware and the second hardware necessitates that the modification of the image be performed. For example, the difference may indicate that a different device driver is to be included in the image, or that HAL or kernel code is to be changed. A similar method of modifying the image and copying the image is also contemplated.
