    > To any and all who use the Symantec product known as Ghost:
    >
    > Please keep in mind that Ghost, when used in the "multicast" mode
    > sends the entire disk image you are attempting to replicate to EVERY
    > computer in your school... not just your target host.
    >
    > What does this mean?
    > a) file transfers and ftp downloads may time out.
    > b) your print jobs may fail
    > c) your web browsing may time out
    > d) you may experience general "network slowness"
    >
    > What can you do?
    > Isolate any ghost servers and ghost client machines to their own
    > part of the network - put them on the same switch if possible, and
    > *disconnect* that switch from the rest of the network.
