ABSTRACT:
During an initial install process for CD ROM client machines in a computer network, a local client hard drive file system is set up and populated from the CD ROM with client-specific files. Subsequent network-generic and client-specific updates are distributed on CD ROM. Upon subsequent boots from these CD ROMs, the client determines which code on the CD ROM is network-generic and which is client-specific, loading only the latter on the client hard drive(s) and accessing the network-generic code from the CD ROM only.
