There is a PDF?! OK... However, Maybe helpful: <http://blog.andreas-haerter.com/2012/02/05/how-to-start-puppet-system-config-links-resources-tutorials> -> "How to start" listing > I ran the passenger build script and it compiled and installed into my > local apache httpd server successfully. I personally started by using Puppet without master but "puppet apply" instead. I created modules and then ran something like > su - > puppet apply --verbose --modulepath /your/modules-directory/ -e "class { > 'example': } foobar { [...] }" to learn the stuff before creating master infrastructure and stuff. BTW: There are masterless users out there (cf. "Masterless" listing at my blog posting linked above). > Puppet seems way too clumber some with the amount of dependencies > required so far. Seriously: use the packages of your distribution or the YUM/APT repos by Puppetlabs if you want to start with all the 2.7 features right now (I would recommend that - why learning and maintain old stuff if you just start to use Puppet?). Or are you running Puppet on windows (=no repositories available)? -- Andreas <http://blog.andreas-haerter.com> O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
