Details

An updated bootparamd package that includes a new feature for searching the
best router for each client is now available.

Bootparamd is a server process that provides information to diskless
clients required for booting.

This updated package adds a new code to look up all available routers and
select the best way for clients to connect.

All users of bootparamd should upgrade to this updated package, which
includes the enhancement as well as a bug fix.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system
