You clearly have no idea where Toronto, Ontario is.
North
AMERICA. You're an American, dude!
Kidding...but you both are way off.
The other guy is bulking his stereotypes around United States and applying it unilaterally against everyone whose country happens to be in any part of North or South America...including Canada. He doesn't realize that though Canada is part of North America, it is a different culture than the United States entirely.
Your reply came off totally wrong, because it leads one to believe that you failed basic Geography/Social Studies. I know that certainly must not be the case...but you can see how comical both of your replies are when you think about it.
Anyways....back on topic.
So what is one supposed to do in, say, a major company situation where they want to apply a base image across XX # of Macs in the enterprise that already have preconfigurations done against them? The internet solution won't really work for them if a company administrator can't modify the recovery partition to include these image-based customizations.
Example:
In my company, there are a bunch of satellite offices, each with an IT manager. The corporate office distributes an accepted image down to the IT managers for each laptop when they need to be reconfigured from scratch. You are not allowed to deviate from these base images. In Apple's world, they could no longer do this, creating additional administrative headaches for the IT staff who have to manually go to each machine and install all of these programs and what not. Am I reading that correctly?
I suppose one solution would be to set up the generic image and then use Remote Management to centrally deploy software, but how would that work? Has anyone used the server pieces of Lion to know?
