Hello, it is almost the start of another school year for me and I was wondering if it is possible to do what I want to. I have 27 iMacs and 1 eMac in the lab and I want to set up 1 of the computers and then copy the set up to the other computers. Is this possible. Also, I want the middle school students in OS X and K-5 in OS 9, should I set up 2 partitions or just 1?
Thanks for your help!!!

Basically, you could pull it off if you had a copy of OS X server.

"Network Install is an automated software installation service for setting up new systems and updating existing systems over your network. Just the ticket for operating system upgrades and restoring computers in classrooms and labs, Network Install lets you streamline administration and cut desktop support costs."

From http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features.html

I'm sure it's easier then going around to every computer, but 27 computers really wouldn't be all that worth it. It would be nice to lock some of them down I'm sure.
