I've done this in the past for producing images that are then used in PXE setups so the gap between the image and Puppet stayed small. We ended up needing to tread warily around things like Kerberos principals, but it worked quite seamlessly so long as it looks like an actual operating environment to Puppet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
