!!! [CFEngine] says "No preconfiguration file" even though I have one

You need to put <tt>cf.preconf</tt> in <tt>/var/cfengine</tt>, not <tt>/var/cfengine/inputs</tt> as you might think.

!!! I'm setting up groups in an <tt>import</tt>ed file and then trying to import files based on those groups

[CFEngine] will skip the group/class when parsing unless you add it with <tt>~AddInstallable</tt>.

!!! How do I write a config for a "block" based config file like <tt>/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts</tt>?

We use:

<verbatim>
LocateLineMatching "case \"\$ADDRESS\" in "
BeginGroupIfNoLineMatching "\*,\*,\*,$(macAddrEth1)\)"
  ResetSearch "1"
  LocateLineMatching "case \"\$ADDRESS\" in"
  InsertLine "*,*,*,$(macAddrEth1))"
  InsertLine "  IPADDR=\"$(ipAddrEth1)\""
  # etc ...
EndGroup
</verbatim>
