Re: ks config managers

I wrote such a system using PHP and MySQL.. I actually store parts of the 
kickstart file as templates in the database, and regexp certain things 
like network information, packages, etc.  It works quite well.  I wish I 
could Open Source it, but the powers that be get lost in the red tape.

My simple minded approach:  Use CVS or RCS to track your files.  Sharing,
stubs, templates can be done with a Makefile, shell script and a metafile
containing the differences.  And put these under RCS as well.

Cheers! Ken
