[Puppet Users] enabling of 'thin_storeconfigs'

2011-05-21 Thread Gabriel Filion

I don't think the issue is necessarily that it's all on one page, the hard part for me is that one section bleeds into the next section. It's hard to tell where one leaves off and the next one starts. Some form of break between sections would make it much more readable. -- Nathan Clemons http://ww
