Now I have puppet on a Fedora 11 i386 client successfully connecting to
the puppetmaster server on a different box...also Fedora 11, but x86_64.
When the puppet client recieved it's certificate and started working, I
got no less than 21 AVC denials on 'ifconfig' right after. That's from
running in enforcing mode. I have changed the client to permissive mode
for now.

I'm really interested in working with the puppet application, and I
just happen to have an extra laptop hanging around. Said laptop turned
out to be capable of booting from USB. I found an old external hard
drive which formerly booted Fedora 8.
I connected the hard drive to the laptop's USB port.
Went to another machine and mounted the Fedora 11 i386 iso image on
one of my webservers.
Came back to the laptop and booted Fedora 8. By downloading the
vmlinuz and initrd images off the web server, moving them into /boot,
and then adding a suitable stanza to grub.conf, and then rebooting, I
was able to get a medialess install started.
I had a perfect install experience!
The beauty of it is, because I checked off the Fedora updates
repository as one of the repositories to use, I got the latest and
greatest versions of everything. A big bonus was I didn't have to burn
another DVD that would go unused and land in the trash. 10 cheers for
medialess installation methods.
As to the puppet client on the very fresh Fedora 11 machine, I'm still
working at getting it to connect to the puppet server which is on this
machine. I needed to clean up some of my local DNS zone files. I've
gotten sloppy over the years and I don't do DNS every day. So I also
had to read carefully about CNAME records. The 10th time is the charm.
Tomorrow success will be mine, I hope.
