To deploy Endpoint Protection Linux agent as part of a cloned drive image, follow these steps on a base machine that will act as the source of the image:
./LinuxInstaller --imageFollowing is an example of result of above command:
[[email protected] Downloads]# ./LinuxInstaller --image
Re-running installer script (ver 2.2.5.77)
Stopping Agent..
