Put all clients which do not have lsb-release and/or augeas installed into a separate bootstrap mode. You can use environments and/or tags to implement this. In this special mode just install the tools you need. The next run will resume with the full information available. Normally this "special" bootstrap run is already done from the installer to make this very easy, e.g. in debian-installer's postcmd: puppetd --environment bootstrap-debian --onetime --no-daemonize Regards, DavidS > > > Silviu > PS sorry for spamming the list :"> > > > On 07.12.2009 21:31, Silviu Paragina wrote: >> Is this possible? >> >> There are some cases when you really require this.
