Important Notes
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit
(http://www.openssl.org/).
This DTK product carries GNU Bash update packages to fix the Shellshock vulnerability (CVE-2014-
7169 and CVE-2014-6271).
SYSCFG
Some options may not be present on all systems, which may be due to the BIOS version or
hardware feature set. The usage information generated by running SYSCFG without arguments
shows only those options that are valid for your system.
The "--devseq" option is present only if you have an available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this
option is present in the configuration file, but not present on your system, you will receive a
usage error.
