[comp.protocols.appletalk] auto-updating users's appleshare startup disks?

jim@insect.berkeley.edu (03/22/90)

Does anyone have a fool-proof technique for users to update their old
appleshare startup (boot) disks to the latest version?  (I am not concerned
about upgrading the System File, just the other contents of the
System Folder -- INITs, device drivers, anti-virals, etc.)

Background:  I regularly upgrade (improve :-) the startup disks issued
to new users on my appleshare network.  I'd like the old users to have
the same features, without my having to track them down.  Many users
have not mastered the concept of dragging files from a folder on the file
server to the sytem folder on their startup disk.  :-(

Is there any semi-automatic way by which users can double-click and have
the latest features placed in their system folder?  (Even if they
have renamed their system folder and startup disk? :-)

Many thanks,
