Eric, If your needs are few, and you can create RPM packages, you can create a "group" package that lists everything you wish to install as dependencies. By releasing updated versions of this "group" package (in you own custom yum repository) you can "remotely" add packages later on. If you find something off list, please let the list know. It sounds interesting. Troy >>> "Eric Peterson" <srcfoo at gmail.com> 11/01/06 10:07 AM >>> Hi, I was wondering if anyone uses software to perform mass software installations. So that you can install a package on multiple machines with a single command. I have serveral Xen guests and I'm hoping their is a good way to do this. The guests are all CentOS. I know SuSE/Novell used Red Carpet or something like that back in the day. I figure at worst I'll just use SSH with keys to run yum commands on each machine, but thought maybe there was a more elegant solution that someone here uses. I tried google but failed when I realised that I couldn't come up with precise search terms. google: software install linux.... doh! Yea, I'm not feeling very creative right now.
