Most casual users of the genome-bootstrap tool will not require this feature and can simply skip this section.
The advanced mode is most useful for scripting. It also allows for more complicated use cases which operate outside of a normal Red Hat internal network. The only required input are the --fqdn and --repo flags. The yaml configuration can either be specified as another flag or it can be piped to stdin. If a --virt-path is provided then a Koan process will be started. See the --help for more information.
# genome-bootstrap advanced --help
The yaml fed to genome-bootstrap must be in the same format the Puppet expects for its external nodes. You must know exactly which parameters are required for a given Genome machine. The nice thing is that this yaml can be obtained from Genomed.
