Abstract

A method for automated provision of build images is disclosed. The method includes identifying the network location of build scripts that provide information regarding the installation of installation files and copying the build scripts from the location on the network to a memory, e.g., a disk drive of a target computer system. In addition, the method includes copying installation files that correspond to the build scripts to the drive of the target machine. The installation files are subsequently installed on the target machine to create the build image.
