Post-flash auto-customization+modification

I'd like a way for a config script to be automatically called upon imaging, so we can easily write scripts for custom needs/packages/modifications - Pia

like an answer file?

(something like an answer file: You populate it with settings you want, and they are pulled in after imaging i.e. locale information, language, time zone)-Reuben

Management tools

I want a way to host a repository and push changes/updates/new applications to laptops - Pia

like radmind?

I always like pull better then push, but I think you are looking for something similar to radmind: http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/radmind/

requirements needed...

Here are six different partial solutions to the mgmt-tools question:

• Spacewalk and Puppet.
• LATU's updater, and Martin's makefile system.
• mass olpc-update and Software updater.

Perhaps we could write a good list of requirements after spending a few minutes considering each of these examples?

Would one of these existing systems suffice if only better documentation were available?
