Ah right... this bit helps a lot. never thought of creating an own repo, that makes sense now. so if its in a repo puppet can do it. I will look into that, and also request Virtualmin do it because I asked them about this on their forum, but they had no experience with Puppet. Makes sense for it to come from a repo they manage. thanks On Monday, 19 November 2012 19:57:33 UTC, Laurence Cope wrote: > > HI > > Forgive me if this is such a newbie issue.
