Gutinteg: A System for Automated Configuration & Installation


Gutinteg is the defacto name for a suite of tools used to perform large-scale software and/or operating systems installation, configuration, and updates.

I presented Gutinteg at the CHECS 1999 conference in Las Cruces, NM. Material from that presentation is available here.

Gutinteg is a collection of many scripts and programs used in installing a new machine. Source code can be found below. This is currently really only useful for information purposes. I will be trying to compile all this into a distribution in the near future. If you are interested feel free to ask me when the hell is the Gutinteg distribution going to be finished. It should help speed up the process believe it or not.

It is no longer possible to browse the Gutinteg src online, Gutinteg is only available via the following tarball

Wholewheat is a supplementary program used to convert the output of RegView into a Windows readable registry.

Other programs that I do not have source code for can be found below.

Gutinteg was originally written by Michael Fisk and was presented at the 1996 USENIX LISA conference in Chicago. His page on Gutinteg can be found here. Since then, it has mostly been maintained at the Tech Computer Center by me. It is used just about every day in an environment of over 200 workstations running Linux, Win95, SunOS, and Solaris.
