From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-12 i586) Description of problem: The problem is not really on the URL mentioned, but... When I boot "linux rescue" with the bootnet install disk, I get to the terminal prompt without problems. However, essential utils such ad cp, mv and others are not available. These should be available, as mentioned in the customisation guide (see URL). Other utils such as e2fsck, anaconda, python, mount and many others are available. I have not compiled a complete list of the missing utils. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the standard Redhat 7.1 network bootdisk 2. Use ftp install (don't know whether it is also a problem with HTTP, CD-ROM installs) 3. Enter "cp", "mv" or other commands at the prompt. Actual Results: Response to step 3 is something like "Unknown command". Expected Results: Well, depending on the command, files should be copied, moved etc. Additional info:
I was wrong; e2fsck is not available. Available tools are: /bin: init insmod modprobe rmmod sh /sbin: badblocks clock e2label fdisk hwclock mkdosfs mke2fs mkfs.ext2 mkfs.msdos mkraid mkreiserfs mkswap probe /usr/bin: anaconda anaconda.real ash cat chmod chroot collage df gunzip ln losetup ls lsmod mkdir mknod mount pump python python1.5 raidstart raidstop rm sh umount uncpio The path also contains /usr/X11R6/bin, but this directory does not exist. Furthermore, it contains /mnt/{,usr}/{bin,sbin}, which should probably be /mnt/sysimage/{,usr}/{bin,sbin} (cf. bug no. 30791). However, it is _not_ enough to correct the path, as the tools are needed also if /mnt/sysimage is unmounted (e.g. e2fsck if you want to check the root filesystem). Comparing to http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7.1-Manual/customization-guide/rescuemode.html, about 50 tools are missing. Furthermore, some tools present are not listed (e.g. e2label). Another observation: The prompt is "#", not "bash#"
The respose is not "Unknown command", but "cp: not found", "mv: not found" etc.
Fixed in the latest internal builds.
