Explanation
Image deployment involves capturing a pre-configured, customized OS installation as a disk image and then pushing that image to multiple target machines simultaneously - which is exactly what PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is designed to facilitate. The PXE server delivers the image over the network, saving significant time when configuring many machines with identical configurations. Multiboot (A) allows multiple OSes on one machine, which is unrelated to mass deployment. A repair installation (B) fixes an existing broken OS. An upgrade installation (C) upgrades an existing OS to a newer version. Neither repair nor upgrade applies to brand-new computers receiving a first-time custom configuration.
