A method for deploying software includes providing a Web site on a server
coupled to a network for presenting a user with an interface. The server
has an array of post-load images stored thereon for combinations of the
software and hardware that the user may select. The server receives a
user selection of software applications for deploying to a target
computer system and of hardware for the target system and responsively
determines what drivers correspond to the indicated hardware. The server
then selects a certain one of the post-load images having the software
applications that have been selected by the user and has the drivers for
the hardware that have been selected by the user.
