Not sure, if you try to do crontab and cron isnt there at puppet startup time 
it blows up as soon as the catelog start, it doesnt wait for you to package 
install cron via requires or anything like that.  That's probably most of the 
pain.  Same with trying to use packages with the gem provider - you cant 
install via yum rubygems and in the same run expect to use the gem provider 
afterward
