Sorry, i am talking about the "--reconfig" flag in firstboot.
I find only one place where reconfig is "used" :
if hasattr(obj, "moduleClass"):
if (self.doReconfig and (obj.moduleClass == "reconfig")):
self.moduleDict[int(obj.runPriority)] = obj
elif (not self.doReconfig and (obj.moduleClass != "reconfig")):
self.moduleDict[int(obj.runPriority)] = obj
else:
self.moduleDict[int(obj.runPriority)] = obj
I am not a python programmer and perhaps I am wrong.
For me firstboot do not need the "--reconfig" flag. firstboot always run
on an already configured system. At least with this configuration :
- configured with no sound card.
- configured with default time zone.
- configured with no user account.
- ...
Should i run redhat-config-* with "--reconfig" flag if my system is
already configured ?
