There is one important exception to associating modules with menu items. If you
want to install one or more modules that are global in nature (that is, modules to
be installed on every target computer using this map regardless of what menu
items are selected), you can insert those modules in the right pane for the root
entry of the map as shown in the following illustration.

Sample base map

To insert a module in a base map, you do the following:
1.

In the left pane of the Base Map window, highlight the root entry or the menu
entry with which you want to associate the module.

2.

In the Main window menu bar, click Insert then click the type of module you
want to insert (Operating System... or Application...). A window opens listing
all of the modules for that module type.

3.

Select one or more of modules and then click OK.

Special considerations for I386 base operating-system
modules

As discussed in earlier chapters, the I386 base operating-system module is the core
element of an Ultra-Portable Image that can be deployed and installed on Lenovo
branded and non-Lenovo branded computers, regardless of hardware
configurations. However, whenever a map contains a I386 base operating-system
module, that map also must contain the following modules:

v

An appropriate Primary NTFS Partition partitioning module for the operating
system being installed

v

The ImageUltra Customization module

v

The SysPrep module

Note:

The Sysprep module is used in conjunction with building an
Ultra-Portable Image for Windows XP and Windows2000, and needs to be
placed in the C:/SWWORK/SYSPREP folder.

v

An UNATTEND.TXT module for Windows XP or an UNATTEND.XML module
for Windows Vista or Windows 7 and language being installed

These modules are designed to be used in conjunction with I386 base
operating-system modules only. Do not attempt to use these modules in
conjunction with any other type of base operating-system module.
