[katello-devel] When does Puppet start

[Innes, Duncan]

Thanks Lukas,

I thought there was already some integration of Puppet beyond installing
Katello itself.  It's been a while since I've installed the package to
test/play around.

By "install kernel" I meant the ability to run any Puppet stuff during
the install phase - much like post-installation scripts on the current
Satellite platform.

Gives us the ability to harden a server before it first boots, but I can
see Puppet being too much a nightmare to have running before the first
boot.
