Description Jason Vas Dias 2005-07-22 20:58:35 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #163954 +++

Description of problem:
If the user has forgotten to install busybox-anaconda on the client root,
it would be nice if updateDiskless would indicate that, instead of simply
complaining it cannot find the file in some obscure location. I suspect I'm not
the only person to fail to notice the relevant instruction in the System
Administration Guide :-)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a root fs for a diskless client following the System
Administration Guide, except do not install busybox-anaconda.
2. In redhat-config-netboot configure the diskless client setup using this root fs
  
Actual results:
redhat-config-netboot complains about busybox-anaconda not being found in some
temporary directory.

Expected results:
redhat-config-netboot should instruct the user to install busybox-anaconda in
the client root.
