Kickstart Tips and Tricks

[Callahan, Tom]

My favorite use of kickstart is to kick a bare machine, which fits a role
(ie webserver, database server, fileserver ), and then set loose cfengine to
build the rest of the machine. Once configured correctly, I have found
cfengine to be one of the best central management tools around.

Thanks,
Tom Callahan
