howto setup an install server using pxe, tftp, dhcp, kickstart, dns, yum (createrepo), puppet, augeas and func

By thomas, 3 August, 2009
I've finally posted the initial version of my "howto setup an install server" book at narrabilis.com. I start with installing tftp, dhcp and named to allow machines to pxebook. Then go on to configure kickstart to have machines install themselves. Then use kickstart to configure puppet and have puppet (with augeas) configure the machines. I briefly cover func, using func to quickly make changes. It's still a work in progress and I welcome any comments. Hopefully it will be useful to someone, somewhere. It's still lacking a good title. For now I'm going with the Alan Partridge title of "Crash, bang, wallop, what a server". Enjoy...
