I'm now writing from a freshly installed F8 Live CD (my respin with
only updated packages no custom ones)

and here you go:

# yum install firstboot
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package firstboot - 1.4.39-1.fc8.noarch is already installed.

# whereis firstboot
firstboot: /usr/sbin/firstboot /usr/share/firstboot

]# grep firstboot /var/log/ -R
/var/log/anaconda.log:13:07:17 INFO    : moving (1) to step firstboot
/var/log/anaconda.log:13:19:31 INFO    : moving (1) to step firstboot

13:07:17 INFO    : moving (1) to step firstboot
13:07:17 INFO    : moving (1) to step instbootloader
13:07:17 DEBUG   : failed to unlink /var/lib/rpm/__db.000


What other log can I look for errors so to troubleshoot this bug?


Cheers,
Valent.
