I have a rather unusual project I'm trying to put together a rather strange intranewt site for some of my fellow system admins.

The set up:

I manage a redhat satellite server (aka spacewalk now) used for kickstarting *lots and lots* of linux boxes. Many of our junior admins don't have the wherewithal to properly build kickstart templates to effectively build a box consistently. (don't ask me why, I don't know!)

The concept:

Create a forms based site with drop-down forms and/or radio buttons so they can select which version of RHEL to install along with other packages as well as some custom stuff. When they are done filling out/selecting the data they can submit it and have drupal hand them back a cut/paste kickstart template based on what they selected.

I know this seems like a waste because they should know how to build a system but that just hasn't been the case.

So I'm looking at what the best approach to do this without having to code up a special module. I'd like to use D7 if I can. Please keep in mind that I'm not a drupal expert and I don't know php, but I can learn if I have to. Things will just be a little delayed.

Any suggestions from the masses of experience?

Thanks!
