Synopsis
firstboot enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated firstboot packages that add two enhancements are 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 updated firstboot package adds the following enhancements:
- Prior to this update, the firstboot utility did not allow users to change the
timezone. This update adds the timezone module to firstboot so that users can
now change the timezone in the reconfiguration mode. (BZ#704187)
- Prior to this update, the firstboot service did not provide a status option.
This update adds the "firstboot service status" option to show if firstboot is
scheduled to run on the next boot or not. (BZ#753658)
All users of firstboot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
add these enhancements.
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
