Have you looked at installing cobbler and letting that take care of the
details?

Just wondering.


In the best of all worlds, I would have [ puppet | chef | spacewalk |
cobbler | wtf ].  I'm a one-handed-wallpaper-hanger here...

I found that puppet is for people that can't rsync. I spent part of a year migrating to puppet, and found that it is easier for me to simply write in bash, instead of wrapping bash inside of Puppet's format (pulling all my hair out wondering where the nice logs went). I also found that the installation requirements to get puppet running on EL6 dwarfs the requirements to get our application running - bash and the gnu tools are already installed.

I'm also missing system-config-netboot and system-config-kickstart. I usually assemble the tftpboot directories manually. I haven't setup a proper pxe install environment in a while, though I do one-offs for various embedded systems all the time.

I work in a large environment in EC2. bash works just fine for installation, configuration, and testing, before activation/go-live.
