Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2006-920 Important System-Config-Printer

fedora
Calendar Grey August 18, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 4's system-config-netboot has been revamped to eliminate DNS complications, enhance root file system mounting, and provide more reliable network connectivity.
Updated package.

Summary

system-config-netboot is a utility which allows you to configure

diskless environments and network installations.

- fix bug 165772 : read-only root filesystem reported as mounted with "rw" option

It appears that the initscripts package of RHEL-4 requires a "READONLY=yes"

option in /etc/sysconfig/init in the client root for rc.sysinit not to attempt

to mount it read-write.

- fix bug 165735 : diskless clients cannot cope with no DNS PTR record for their

IP address

It was possible for multiple clients who were unable to determine their

host name to mount the same snapshot directory - this is now impossible;

If clients are unable to determine their host name and have empty

SNAPSHOT settings, the IP address is used for the snapshot directory.

It is also now possible to set the hostname and domainname without DNS

by the DHCP server supplying the host-name option.

- fix bug 165730: prevent kernel*-2.6.9-12.2.EL getting an Oops when 'host' is run
