I can accept that custom applications might be easier to include in images. Creating a RPM or install script for a rarely installed program may not make the top of the priority list. However, if it is installed identically on multiple systems, it could be converted to rpm or a scripted install, which could be included in an automated clean install. As an example, I uuencode my current DHCP configuration, DNS files, firewall rules and openvpn certificates into a kickstart file to cleanly install my firewalls. Each is different but is scripted, partly in the scripts that create my kickstart files and partly in the kickstart post section. _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
