ABSTRACT:
A method and system for implementing a transportable operating system boot environment on a computer system. The method includes the step of accessing a stored operating system environment coupled to the computer system. An identity object is then accessed, wherein the identity object includes hardware and software configuration information regarding the computer system. The hardware and software configuration information of the identity object is then impressed onto the stored operating system environment to update the stored operating system environment in accordance with the computer system. The computer system is then booted using the updated stored operating system environment. The stored operating system environment can be coupled to the computer system using a removable media. The identity object can be impressed onto the stored operating system environment by using an agent running on the computer system.
