Greetings:

Sorry for cross-posting this question, but I haven't gotten any love 
over on the Google Forum for Foreman 
users<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/foreman-users> (their 
forum isn't as active as this one). I only recently learned about The 
Foreman and I'd like to deploy it on a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS workstation 
to provision/manage a bunch of VPSs. I have an existing master-agent Puppet 
deployment w/PuppetDB on it's own VPS. In the Foreman 1.2 Installation 
Manual, the following is mentioned in a couple of places:

The Foreman installer uses Puppet to install Foreman. This guide assumes 
> that you've already installed Puppet (without a master)...


Unless there's a huge benefit to allowing the Foreman installer to 
overwrite my current puppetmaster configs, I'd like to keep my existing 
Puppet master. In perusing through the manual, I then came across *3.2.2 
Installer Options*, which suggests that 'all with the world' will be grand 
and wonderful again, if I simply copy & edit the answers file found at 
/usr/share/foreman-installer/foreman_installer/answers.yaml.

I continued reading and then came across the following: "Other examples are 
given in /usr/share/foreman-installer/README.md." Being the obedient-fellow 
that I am, I went ahead and read the README file; because, at this point, 
my biggest question is this:

If I, in the *answers.yaml* file, set the *puppet* and *puppetmaster* variables 
> to *false*, do I need to go back once the Foreman install is finished and 
> patch The Foreman to my existing puppetmaster that I am stubbornly hanging 
> on to?


In the README file, I came across the following:

Extras

------

If you just want to include the relavant bits to run on your puppet master 
> you may

    include foreman::params, foreman::config::enc, foreman::config::reports


What exactly does "If you just want to include the relavant bits to run on 
your puppet master you may...." mean? Are those parameters what those with 
an existing Puppet master need to/should include? If so... where/when? 
Before running The Foreman Installer? In the *answers.yaml* file?

Thanks!
