Nearly all unix operating systems provide a technology to provision from bare metal through the networt. A short list of those technologies: Enterprise Linux (RedHat, CentOS) - kickstart Debian - fai (Fully Automated Install) Solaris - jumpstart Mac OS X - NetBoot-Install Puppet is usually run in the post-installation phase of the provisioning system, e.g. %post in kickstart. -- Jeff McCune http://www.puppetlabs.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Kinda crazy. It would be better to just build a custom embedded OS (pxe boot it), then have a script that kicks off on boot-up to configure the image then the other way around. That how I handle it at my company, stateless.
