Something we setup here in physics is fairly simple. it has two config files one matches a host or a host-wildcard to 'profile' the other is a list of file stubs to be concatenated together to form the profile. it runs as a cgi so when our systems boot they ask for: http://myserver/cgi-bin/ks.cgi and it hand back to them the file stubs concatenated together that form the kickstart for the profile corresponding to their hostname. I should post that somewhere - it's probably 100 lines of python - not much, really. -sv
