Yes. I've done something similar for creating turn-key systems.
Do a kickstart of the host and as part of the kickstart, retrieve a puppet
manifest from CVS/Subversion.
Then run the 'puppet' binary against the manifest to do the final host
specific config on the turn-key system.
Works great and pro
I've run my laptop and standlone systems with puppet for a long time,
and here's my impressions from problems I fixed from what I
recall. Things may have changed in later versions.
Configurations may as well be generic, you can use hosts or groups,
but without puppetmaster the entire config goes
No, you don't need the client to pretend it is a server.
Just run puppet by itself.
You won't use puppetmasterd and puppetd, just puppet, it acts like an
interpreter stand alone.

I can't pull. Rsync way could be the way to go, with the client
pretending to be its own server as Stephen has outlined previously.
Many thanks for the explanation, will give it a try.

Can you not have anything installed? or you just can't pull?
In order for Puppet to really work you need to parametrize the configuration
with the 'facts'.
The most straight forward ways to accomplish that is to have the fact's
pulled to the master, or to run the puppet executable on the clients.
Thanks! Here it goes:
- there are between 30 and 40 Apache instances (on 20-30 physical
servers) that I need to supply with htppd.conf, mod_security.conf and
the keys.
- all instances are running in pairs for fail-over some are used just
as ssl endpoints, some as reverse proxies, some host custom
It depends on what you are trying to do exactly, but you can run 'puppet'
stand alone without the master.
The only thing that gets tricky is if you have interhost configurations that
you want to manage.
You can also use the master as a file server for the stand alone puppet
executable.
