I saw that the topic about "kickstart configuration managers" have been discussed before. I just wanted to tell you about http://xml2hostconf.sourceforge.net xml2hostconf generates RPM packages, dhcpd.conf, grub files, kickstart files, and HTML documentation with XSLT. One thing is different in this project: Besides giving you a fully automatic installation system, it also keeps already installed systems in sync with the central configuration. This is solved by generating RPMs consisting of configuration files that get pulled out to the computers by yum or apt-get. These are kickstart-list threads about similar topics that I found when searching the archive. subject: "ks config managers" https://listman.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2004-March/msg00103.html subject: "how to manage kickstart file" http://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2003-March/msg00083.html subject: "Kickstart Configuration Managers" https://listman.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2004-April/msg00004.html cheers, Erik Sjölund
