Description of problem: the mkdiskless script tells users to set $FORCE_DISKLESS if they will be re-running the script on a previously mkdiskless'd root directory but the script itself is looking for $FORCE_MKDISKLESS (note MK). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-netboot-0.1.40-1_EL4 How reproducible: read the source of /usr/share/system-config-netboot/diskless/mkdiskless Actual results: script does not do intended action and throws no warnings Expected results: script should modify diskless root
Created attachment 134921 [details] patch to fix mkdiskless
