Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I don't see why the application cannot be forked, and click a box or have it autosense 10.4 or 10.5 -- why have two versions -- seems dumb to me.

There is only one version. - Andreas..

You have looked at the "requirements" for that version.

WRONG, 3.3.6 is for 10.4
3.4.4 is for 10.5

They SHOULD make just ONE version for both...

Need one version for 10.4/10.5! - versiontracker2007

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Both versions can restore both 10.4 and 10.5-based images. You just need to use the right version for the OS version you're booting into in order to restore the image, whether that's NetBoot or local.

When you build a NetBoot image with NetRestore Helper, you just use the right OS version: 3.3 for 10.4, 3.4 for 10.5, and it will inject the right copy of NetRestore for you.

What version OS version you're NetBooting into doesn't matter, in fact it's probably a good idea to NetBoot into 10.5 even if you're restoring 10.4-based images (so that you can properly NetBoot new machines like the 2.4/2.5GHz MBP).

Ditto with booting locally.
