Add this to the end of your kickstart file:<div><br></div><div>=====================</div><div>%post</div><div><br></div><div>yum -y update</div><div>=====================</div>

</div><div>I used to do all sorts of crazy stuff in there, until I found puppet :) Now I have minimal kickstart configs and I let puppet do all the heavy lifting.</div><div></div></blockquote><div><br>And how do you get kickstart to start puppet? Do you need to add stuff in %post or is it enough to just install the packages?<br>
<br>We are investigating doing just that - kickstart a CentOS Xen guest and get it to pull as much configuration as possible through puppet.<br><br>Any other hints anyone can give about using Puppet on CentOS would be appreciated.<br>
