The Microsoft Windows image in use on some of the CSTS Lab machines, as of Sem 2, 2011, is Windows 7, 64-bit.

Update Server
From the cmd (commandline) run ANU_SUS_Update.reg to update the Windows Registry to use the ANU's local Update site.
Packages
- MinGW-w64 GCC for both x64 & x86 Windows!
Image Creation
Once the image is ready, reboot into the default Linux image. Then log in as root (eg. remotely) and create a compressed image of /dev/sda2:
# dd if=/dev/sda2 | bzip2 -c > /scratch/...
On a Dell Optiplex GX980, with 4GB RAM, the 134GB /dev/sda2, with 33.5GB in use, took 1295 minutes (over 21.5 hours) to compress this way.
