RHBA-2011:1683 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated system-config-kickstart package that fixes a bug is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The system-config-kickstart package contains Kickstart Configurator, a graphical
tool for creating kickstart files.

This updated system-config-kickstart package fixes the following bug:

• The system-config-kickstart utility terminated with a traceback if it was

executed outside of a graphical environment. This problem has been fixed: the
utility starts correctly in a graphical environment or displays an error message
if the X Window System is not running. (BZ#676338)

All users of system-config-kickstart are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which resolves this bug.
