My Strategy for those things is: 1. cobbler ( https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ ) for a minimal Unattended Installation. cobblers primary goal is installation over Network but it can also generate CD/DVD. cobbler integrates kickstart files into your CD. 2. puppet ( http://reductivelabs.com/products/puppet/ ) for central configuration management. -- best regards, markus _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
