RHBA-2011:1742 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated firstboot package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The firstboot utility runs after installation and guides the user through a
series of steps that allows for easier configuration of the machine.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the Traditional Chinese translation (zh_TW) of the Forward button

on the welcome page was different from the action mentioned in the text, on the
same page, referring to this button. This update provides the corrected
translation. (BZ#700283)

• Previously, when running firstboot in Japanese locale and the user attempted

to continue without setting up an account, an untranslated warning message
appeared. With this update, the message is properly translated into Japanese.
(BZ#700305)

All users of firstboot are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
