How could I use the Puppet manifests with the kickstart script?
The Puppet manifests and the kickstart file perform distinctive tasks. The USGCB kickstart file was designed to configure a fully-compliant USGCB system right from installation while the Puppet manifests were designed to keep a system in a managed state of continual compliance. The two can thus be used in concert on a system installed using the options present in the kickstart file and then managed via Puppet to ensure it stays up-to-date.
