I need to build a bank of 12 centos boxes, for an experiment I'm doing. I don't want to install centos 12 times, I'm using virtual box across three machines, how can I get the first run scripts to run again to that the box is reconfigured on it's next boot.
I want each box to appear like a fresh unique install.

Network install via kickstart is the standard solution. It only requires a tfpt-server and a CentOS mirror.

PERFECT!!! Awesome! I didn't even realise that this existed.
In /etc/sysconfig/firstboot change RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO to RUN_FIRSTBOOT=YES

In my case I installed & configured one box. Make a image with Clonezilla & deploy to another boxes.
