I just tried it and found a couple of problems with
Internationilzation calls but it worked for me.  What is the problem
you are having.

Usage bugs fixed in system-config-netboot-0.1.3-6.src.rpm

Comment 3 Leah 2004-06-16 16:33:04 UTC
from 
<http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html>, 
the pxeos is a command line configuration. When this command was 
used, it doesn't work. 
 
Is it right that system-config-netboot-0.1.3-6.src.rpm fixed the 
usage bugs.  But there is no such package from RHEL 3, and I saw 
this from Fedora.  Can we used this for RHEL 3 or would there be a 
future bug fix for RHEL 3? 
 
Thanks.

This package should work fine for RHEL3

Hi,
I have the same problem, I am running RHEL3ES U2 and when I try to
execute "pxeos" from the command line I get the following error message:

---
# pxeos -l
Unable to initialize graphical environment. Most likely cause of failure
is that the tool was not run using a graphical environment. Please either
start your graphical user interface or set your DISPLAY variable. 
Caught exception: could not open display
---

Are you working on a fix for this?

I'm running RHEL3AS U3 within VMWare. When I run "pxeos -l" (or 
pxeos -{anything}) on a server without X installed, I get the same 
error as thewolf. When I run it on a server with X installed, it 
works fine.

Hi,
is anyone going to fix this bug?

Thanks.

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2004-09-27 11:17:02 UTC
system-config-netboot-0.1.4 has this fix.  I will work to get this
into the next RHEL3 update.

Comment 9 none 2004-10-27 13:59:33 UTC
Hi,
it looks like the system-config-netbook package is for Fedora Core,
while the redhat-config-netboot package is for RH Enterprise Linux.

Do you have a fixed RPM for RHEL?

Thanks.
