Lenovo ThinkPad R400 - Manual (Page 12)

v New module templates: Templates are provided for the new I386 module and
the unattend.txt module. These templates are in-built modules that can be
modified, imported, or exported. Or if you prefer, you can create your own
template modules.
v Enhanced flexibility in maps: You can now create menu items that exclude
modules that were added to the installation list by previous menu selections.
v Enhanced debugging capabilities: A log is now created on the target computer
during the deployment process that indicates when a module installation process
is started and completed as well as the result of the filter expressions used in the
menu items.
Features added to version 3.0
ImageUltra Builder 3.0 has implemented significant changes on how base maps are
displayed at the target computer during deployment. These changes are a result of
ImageUltra Builder 3.0 using the Windows ® Preinstallation Environment (PE) as its
deployment environment instead of the DOS operating system used by previous
versions. Under DOS, a base map was displayed to users in full-screen,
console-like mode. Now, through Windows PE, base maps are presented to users
within an actual window.
The following features were added to ImageUltra Builder version 3.0:
v There are new and updated map settings and property tabs within The
ImageUltra Builder 3.0 Graphical User Interface (GUI) menu-driven application,
which control the appearance of deployment and installation screens at the
target computer.
v Improved Map Menu Program: The System Menu Keyword field has been
moved from the Menu Appearance tab to the General tab. Since this only
applies to base maps, it is hidden when the settings dialog applies to a driver
map.
v The use of IBM ® Cloudscape ® , a client-server, object-relational database system,
instead of the previous file-based database system.
v The use of a new boot loader on the ImageUltra deploy media that allows the
install process to continue without requiring the user to remove or deploy
media.
v The use of a splash window. The splash window is used to display the contents
of a log file. A message-box dialog displays messages to users as it moves
around the screen.
v The new Migrate Repository Wizard that takes users through the different stages
to migrate from a previous version of an ImageUltra repository.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ImageUltra you need to know the
following:
v Portable Sysprep modules need to be rebuilt in ImageUltra Builder 3.0 format.
v Ultra-Portable base maps need to be redesigned to follow the ImageUltra Builder
3.0 format.
Features added to version 3.1
The following features were added to ImageUltra Builder version 3.1:
v The use of sequencing modules in driver maps.
v The Map Report includes information on customer first boot installation point.
v Updates for replacing modules.
