Description Matěj Cepl 2011-02-26 12:54:57 UTC
“This, however, is immaterial to the present story, as the scene is not laid in the West of Scotland.” (http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/readfile?fk_files=1456689&pageno=26)

I was thinking about this when I was fighting with system-config-netboot yesterday
It generates (when it does ... bug 583883) tftp root in /tftpboot directory, except system tftp server uses /var/lib/tftpboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-netboot-0.1.45.4-10.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.setenforce 0
2.system-config-netboot
3.do your thing
  
Actual results:
files generated in /tftpboot

Expected results:
file generated in /var/lib/tftpboot

The package seems to have been marked as dead for F16 : 

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=system-config-netboot.git

But, it does work good and I liked how easy it was to configure PXE with it. Maybe cobbler has taken more priority. 

In my testing, the fix seems to be simple enough. 

* Change the PXEBOOTDIR in /usr/share/system-config-netboot/netboot_util.py to :

PXEBOOTDIR="/var/lib/tftpboot/linux-install/"

* Patch the spec file for system-config-netboot-cmd package to install the "linux-install" directory tree to /var/lib/tftpboot.

Package dead in a EOL distribution; closing it.
