| 4 | ''' imagezip ''' |
| 5 | Imagezip generates the disk images. It requires that you boot into a PREOS, either via a cdrom/usb flash drive or PXE. Orbit primarily uses PXE. |

| 7 | ''' frisbee ''' |
| 8 | Frisbee is the tool that writes the image onto a disk, the image is received via a network multicast. It must only be run in the PREOS. |

| 10 | ''' frisbeed ''' |
| 11 | Frisbeed is the daemon that sends the disk image to nodes in the network. It's run from the server that houses your images. |
