My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps.

I might even get there a little earlier and put down "reserved" tags. --- Thank you, Allan Marcus Solutions Architect Central

Howdy, Trying to install dmg files with puppet. However, after running my manifest the .dmg file is never downloaded by curl. I tried pkgdmg and appdmg.

According to Hadley's ggplot book (p. 109), both the graphs below should have a legend, and yet none appears in my hands. Any suggestions? I can't see a typo. Is there a bug? library(ggplot2) data(LakeHuron) huron = data.frame(year=1875:1972,level=LakeHuron) p = ggplot(huron, aes(year)) + geom_line(aes(y= level - 5), colour = 'blue') + geom_line(aes(y= level + 5), colour
