We have a script that preps a machine for puppet, it's usually called like this, on the remote box: curl http://puppetmaster.example.com/install-puppet.sh | bash -x the script just sets up the yum repos, removes any crufty ruby installed, yum installs our puppet rpms, pulling in the right ruby rpm & runs the first puppet apply, with wait for cert & then sets up the service. We also do a few other steps that trip us up (clock drift being one for certs, so ntpd is configured & time pulled from a known good source etc). I can sanitize & post this if you want.
