Description of Problem: Using Gnome GUI under the Systems menu - Create a Boot Disk will not function properly if you just click on the short cut. I ended up opening a terminal window and running the qmkbootdisk program from there to get it to write to the floppy properly. It still reports an error doing it this way but the information is actually writen to floppy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.3? How Reproducible: Consistent everytime I tried. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Main Menu 2. Programs 3. System 4. Create a Boot Disk Actual Results: qmkbootdisk program opened but after you select which kernel to use and select the Ok button there was nothing writen to the floppy disk. Expected Results: Emergency boot disk creation. Additional Information: Error received when run from a terminal window when following command run: qmkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.4.18-4 Session managment error: Authentication rejected, reason: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and-host based authentication failed
