Hi guys,

I'm installing Puppet on RHEL5 systems using KickStart but struggle with the first boot.

Here's my situation:
1) kickstart installs the system, including puppet from our local repo
2) after reboot I have to login and set the hostname and IP
3) then run puppet, register it with the server and bring in the config
4) configure puppet for automatic start

I have to configure the hostname before running puppet for the first time, otherwise it makes its certificate with a wrong name (either 'localhost' or something supplied by dhcp). I'm aware this is not really a Puppet question but how do you guys do this? How do you (semi-)automatically configure the hostname before running puppet for the first time?

Thanks

M.
