I don't know - just trying to help. I have 4 machines at home...and I use
Cobbler specifically because I want reproducability...well worth the time
I spent to learn it. When I lost a harddrive in my laptop, I replaced
it...selected the Cobbler system record for it...and my laptop was ready
to go reprovisioned and all.
Again, I was just trying to help - sorry, if I over-engineered solution...

You could setup Cobbler and koan install the other machines from the
Cobbler server.
Cobbler uses a nice templating engine (Cheetah) and I've managed to use
that within the kickstart file Cobbler serves up to specify packages to
install for a given machine. So for example on Machine A, I can have the
foo package installed and on Machine B install the bar package...
Cobbler even supports PXE booting clients to get installs started...
How long does it take to learn the templating language compared to
sshing to a few machines in separate windows and pasting in a 'yum
install list_of_packages' command?
