Ghost is available in two basic packages.
This version does not support networks or multicasting. Ghost Multicast is the flagship product, which supports network use. The Ghost program fits on a floppy disk, and has a GUI-like interface.

Once that model is set, you use Ghost to create an image of the disk on your server.
