Hi group:

I have a small network in my home.  Because of various adaptive needs, each
of our machines (3) are configured differently, with different software,
etc.

Our documents and data are stored on an a secure server that is backed up
daily.

The problem is that I often have to reinstall 98 s e, along with all the
software.  For example, on this machine alone, I have all my text utilities,
Office, music apps, photoshop, etc.  As many of you know, it is just the
nature of this operating system, it needs reinstalled often.

After I have a machine configured with all the software, I want to be able
to create an image of the drive, create a bootable CD, and when the system
needs to be reinstalled, I simply want to be able to put the CD in the
drive, and restart, and it's done.

Any recommendations on free or very low cost software to implement this task
that doesn't take an engineer to figure out?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Scott
