Hi thanks for your answer but it s not exactly my problem. My users doesn't have their own personnal workstation. It s an open lab. THerefore i have no problem to install the machine with a combination of cfengine + kickstart + autorpm. The problem is the configuration of the default environnement of gnome. To answer of what you have stated in your answer., i have a problem to make the "one perfect workstation" , not to "replicate" it to other machines.
