Well Norton Ghost is a very simple program, all you need to do is Install the PC and get it set up how you want it and Norton Ghost will take a snapshot of the Hard Drive to a file (not on the same hard drive) a Partition to a file (not on that partition) or directly to a set of CD-Rs, DVD-Rs and it can be done over a network. It's a case of experimenting with Ghost and finding the easiest way for you to do it.

BTW it's only really worth it if you've got a large number of similar or identical PCs to installed, I've done about 40 by this method before (Identical Small Form Factor PCs for a school) and it works well. If you have a few different PCs, best bet is to make a separate Ghost Image for each one.
