This project started at least 5 years ago and was written by Perl guys before Python was huge in Red Hat land :) I've taken over ownership of the project in the last ~2 years. We use the kickstart-tools-web perl CGI program so our end users can make a kickstart floppy, CD or PXE configuration with embedded ks.cfg. It uses the concept of hardware profiles and software profiles which are heavily customizable. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||.
