One rule to remember is that at least one operating-system module must be

associated with each branch that extends from the root node of a map tree. This

can be accomplished using one of two methods:

v Branch method: At least one operating-system module must be nested

somewhere within a branch (most common implementation). This method

determines which operating system to install based on menu choices.

v Root method: If the same operating system will be used for each image defined

in your map, you can insert the operating-system at the root node (least

common implementation). This method automatically associates the operating

system with every branch in your map.

Depending on the type of operating-system module associated with a given

branch, you might have limitations as to whether you can associate application

modules with that branch:

v If the operating-system module is a Hardware-Specific Image, you cannot

associate application modules with that branch. If you attempt to associate

application modules with that branch, the application modules will be ignored

during the installation process. Only those applications contained within the

Hardware-Specific Image itself will be installed.

v If the operating system module is an Ultra-Portable Image or Portable-Sysprep

Image, you can associate application modules with that branch.

You insert modules in strategic locations in the base map. Module names never

appear on the installation screen at the target computer. Typically, modules are

associated with specific menu items so the installation of the modules is contingent

upon the selection of a given menu item. As the person performing the installation

progresses through the menu structure, the modules to be installed accumulate

until the final selection is made from the final menu, at which time, all of the

accumulated modules are installed.

Using the map that was used as an example earlier, the appropriate

operating-system modules would be inserted in the right pane for the French and

English menu items as shown in the following illustrations:
