ABSTRACT:
A computer system is manufactured by providing a communications network between a customer and a manufacturer, configuring a first computer system to communicate with a second computer system and including a first program and a second program in the second computer system. The customer accesses the first program providing a software image to the manufacturer using the second program. The first program provides the customer with an option to upload the software image. The first program obtains customer information, and using the option, the customer requests the manufacturer to upload the software image in an ordered computer system. In response, the second program is downloaded to cause a boot disk to be created. The second program includes a boot code and a third program. The boot code and the third program are stored on the boot disk, the boot code being configured to initiate the third program. The second program is removed from the first computer system.
