You might like to have a look at 

	ftp://ftp.quick.com.au/pub/unix/config-sh.cpio.Z

which is a very generic tool for doing this sort of thing - with no
user interaction required. Indeed, I've used it quite a bit for
building firewall bastions (like a cookie cutter).  Its all written
in Bourne shell and is quite portable (*BSD,SunOS,Solaris,IRIX, and
even HP-UX[*], all known to work), on Solaris, it also takes care of
installing patches.

You can build a single config tree that supports multiple systems and
architectures, ftp://ftp.quick.com.au/pub/unix/config-example.cpio.Z
is a subset of my configs tree here and contains many useful bits of
shell script etc. No, it does not contain the bastion configs :-)
