It sounds like we have another volunteer. :)
Please note that the Plone web server has no connection other than ftp
to the distribution server. So, this makes scripts like what you are
talking about trickier.
I personally think the text header for each rpm is overkill, but like
the idea of what is installed by default. But if you have workable
scripts, and examples for all this I'd like to see it.

We had thought of that. Myself, I'm not really a forum person. In your
opinion which is the best plone forum module.
Can you also send the link to where it can be found, along with
installation instructions.
I ask that because there are many plone modules, but they arn't
necessarily in a central place, and some of their installation
instructions can be different than the normal.

That would be very useful.
Along those lines, having a rough template of what people should include
on those laptop reports would be very nice as well.
We already have one person with a laptop installation report, so it
would be nice if the reports looked somewhat similar.
Thanks
