Description Andrius Benokraitis 2005-02-14 21:43:14 UTC
Description of problem:
A mouseover on a newly added Kickstart field renders incorrect help text.

How reproducible: Always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. system-config-netboot &
2. Go to Configure => Network Installation
3. Click Add in spawned window
4. Mouseover the new Kickstart input field. 
  
Actual results:
It currently displays, "Enter a description of the installation software."

Expected results:
A description of the Kickstart input box. Is it similar or identical to the
Kickstart dialog when adding a PXE host? That one reads, "Enter the kickstart
file to be used for this install. Kickstart files can be created using
system-config-kickstart." Maybe adding a sample path, as it could be a local
file, or a URL to a ks.cfg file. Both help texts could be more clear.

Comment 1 Andrius Benokraitis 2005-02-15 17:44:36 UTC
Also, the pxeos man page does not specify/state a command line kickstart option,
as is shown in the pxeboot man page.

Comment 2 Andrius Benokraitis 2005-02-16 21:10:41 UTC
Also getting GTK deprecation warnings (gtk.mainloop) when launching and quitting
system-config-netboot from a terminal.

Comment 3 Andrius Benokraitis 2005-02-18 17:27:03 UTC
From dwalsh: "The kickstart field should say: Enter the kickstart file to be
used for this install. Kickstart files can be created using
system-config-kickstart."

Comment 4 Jason Vas Dias 2005-05-27 20:32:20 UTC
This bug is now fixed with system-config-netboot-0.1.16-1, which
should be in RHEL-4-U2 and meanwhile can be downloaded from:
 http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/system-config-netboot 
Please try it out and let me know of any issues - thanks.
