Synopsis

firstboot enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated firstboot packages that add one enhancement 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 update adds the following enhancement:

• Previously, the Firstboot utility allowed displaying only the English version
  of the End User Licence Agreement (EULA), which could be problematic for users
  who do not understand English. This update modifies Firstboot so that it uses
  the $LANG environment variable to find the localized EULA file according to the
  language set during installation. If the EULA file in the selected language is
  not found, the default EULA file, which is in English, is used. Users can now
  read the EULA document in the language chosen during installation before
  accepting it. (BZ#831818)
  

All users of firstboot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
add this enhancement.

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
