Changing operating system configurations

You can change the description of an operating system by just typing over the Description column or by using the Change action from the context menu (or action code  c ) on the Operating System Configuration List.

Changing the operating system configuration ID

To change the ID of an operating system, perform the following steps:

1. On the OS Configuration List select the operating system and the Repeat (copy) OS configurations action from the context menu (or action code  r ). The Identify Target IODF panel is displayed.
2. Press the Enter key to accept the default target IODF name, that is the IODF you are currently working with. The Repeat Operating System Configuration panel is displayed.
