Tips for easily creating nfsroot?

[Justin Cattle]

We tend to use either custom packages from our internal repos specified in
the NFSROOT config, or puppet [ as we leverage that a lot anyway ].

I think packages are probably cleaner for your use case, as it can handle
removal of files too, and it's quite simple.
Puppet [ or any other infra orchestration ] can do that too, but can be
more complex to support.


Cheers,
Just
