| |
|
| |
| Gateway to use for a network installation.
| |
|
| |
| <code>graphical</code>
| |
|
| |
| Force graphical install. Required to have ftp/http use GUI. A graphical
| |
| install implies that the installed system will boot up into runlevel 5,
| |
| using whichever display manager is in use by the default desktop (gdm for
| |
| GNOME, kdm for KDE).
| |
|
| |
| <code>headless</code>

| |
| hardware, and that anaconda should not probe for it.
| |
|
| |
| <code>ip=<ip></code>

| IP to use for a network installation, use 'dhcp' for DHCP.
| |
|
| |
| <code>ipv6=<ipv6></code>

| IPv6 IP address to use for a network installation. Use 'auto' for automatic neighbor discovery.
| |
|
| |
| <code>keymap=<keymap></code>
| |
|
| |
| Keyboard layout to use. Valid values are those which can be used for the
| |
| <code>keyboard</code> kickstart command.
| |
|
| |
| <code>ks</code>
| |
|
| |
| Gives the location of the kickstart file to be used for installation. If only
| |
| <code>ks</code> is given, the file is assumed to be on NFS. The ks parameter
| |
| may take these other forms:
| |
|
| |
| *<code>ks=cdrom:<device></code>
| |
|
| |
| *<code>ks=file:<path></code> (path = 'fd0/ks.cfg', for example)
| |
|
| |
| *<code>ks=ftp://<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| *<code>ks=hd:<dev>:<path></code> (dev = 'hda1', for example)
| |
|
| |
| * <code>ks=http://<host>/<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| * <code>ks=nfs[:options]:<server>:<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| <code>ksdevice</code>
| |
|
| |
| Takes one of 4 types of argument which tells install what network device to
| |
| use for kickstart from network:
| |
| * An argument like 'eth0' naming a specific interface
| |
| * An argument like 00:12:34:56:78:9a indicating the MAC address of a
| |
| specific interface
| |
| * The keyword 'link' indicating that the first interface with link up
| |
| * The keyword 'bootif' indicating that the MAC address indicated by the
| |
| BOOTIF command line option will be used to locate the boot interface.
| |
| BOOTIF is automagically supplied by pxelinux when you include the
| |
| option 'IPAPPEND 2' in your pxelinux.cfg file
| |
|
| |
| <code>kssendmac</code>
| |
|
| |
| Adds HTTP headers to ks=http:// request that can be helpful for provisioning
| |
| systems. Includes MAC address of all network interfaces in HTTP headers of
| |
| the form "X-RHN-Provisioning-MAC-0: eth0 01:23:45:67:89:ab".
| |
|
| |
| <code>lang=<lang></code>
| |
|
| |
| Language to use for the installation. This should be a language which is
| |
| valid to be used with the <code>lang</code> kickstart command.
| |

|
| |
| Force GUI installer to run at 640x480.
| |
|
| |
| <code>mediacheck</code>
| |
|
| |
| Activates loader code to give user option of testing integrity of
| |
| install source (if an ISO-based method).
| |
|
| |
| <code>method=</code>
| |
|
| |
| This option is deprecated in favor of repo=. For now, it does the same thing
| |
| as repo= but will be removed at a later date.
| |
|
| |
| <code>mtu=<num></code>
| |
|
| |
| Set the MTU (maximum transmission unit) used during network installs to
| |
| the given number. Uses the network stack default if this option is not
| |
| specified.
| |
|
| |
| <code>netmask=<nm></code>
| |
|
| |
| Netmask to use for a network installation.

|
| |
| Disable support for dmraid.
| |
|
| |
| <code>nofirewire</code>
| |
|
| |
| Do not load support for firewire devices.
| |

| |
| programs when a fatal error occurs
| |
|
| |
| <code>nomount</code>
| |
|
| |
| Don't automatically mount any installed Linux partitions in rescue mode.
| |
|
| |
| <code>nompath</code>
| |
|
| |
| Disable support for multipath devices.
| |
|
| |
| <code>nopass</code>
| |
|
| |
| Don't pass keyboard/mouse info to stage 2 installer, good for testing
| |
| keyboard and mouse config screens in stage2 installer during network
| |
| installs.
| |
|
| |
| <code>noprobe</code>
| |
|
| |
| Do not attempt to detect hw, prompts user instead.
| |
|
| |
| <code>noselinux</code>
| |
|
| |
| Disable SELinux on the installed system.
| |
|
| |
| <code>noshell</code>
| |
|
| |
| Do not put a shell on tty2 during install.
| |
|
| |
| <code>nousb</code>
| |
|
| |
| Do not load USB support (helps if install hangs early sometimes).
| |
|
| |
| <code>nousbstorage</code>
| |
|
| |
| Do not load usbstorage module in loader. May help with device ordering on
| |
| SCSI systems.
| |
|
| |
| <code>repo=</code>
| |
|
| |
| This option tells anaconda where to find the packages for installation. This
| |
| option must point to a valid yum repository. It is analagous to the older
| |
| method= option, but repo= makes it more clear exactly what is meant.
| |
|
| |
| The value passed to repo= can also be used to find the stage2 image if no CD
| |
| or stage2= parameter is found. In this case, the image is looked for by
| |
| appending images/install.img to the repo parameter.
| |
|
| |
| The following forms are accepted for repo=:
| |
|
| |
| * <code>repo=cdrom:<device></code>
| |
|
| |
| * <code>repo=ftp://[user:password@]<host>/<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| * <code>repo=http://<host>/<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| * <code>repo=hd:<device>:/<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| Look for ISO images on the hard drive partition given by device (/dev/sda1,
| |
| for instance). This may not be a partition that will be formatted during
| |
| installation later. These should be ISO images, not an exploded tree on the
| |
| hard drive. anaconda will not look for the install.img file in any of the ISO
| |
| images. The install.img must be placed in <path>/images/, or a stage2= or
| |
| CD must be provided. device can be a device name, LABEL=, or UUID=.
| |
|
| |
| * <code>repo=nfs:<server>[:options]:/<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| * <code>repo=nfsiso:<server>[:options]:/<path></code>
| |
|
| |
| Look for ISO images on the NFS volume with the given server and path. These
| |
| should be ISO images, not loopback mounted. anaconda will not look for the
| |
| install.img file in any of the ISO iamges. The install.img must be placed in
| |
| <path>/images/, or a stage2= or CD must be provided.
| |
|
| |
| <code>rescue</code>
| |
|
| |
| Run rescue environment.
| |
|
| |
| <code>resolution=<mode></code>
| |
|
| |
| Run installer in mode specified, '1024x768' for example.
| |
|
| |
| <code>selinux[=0] </code>
| |
|
| |
| Disables selinux entirely. Defaults to on.
| |
|
| |
| <code>serial</code>
| |
|
| |
| Turns on serial console support.
| |
|
| |
| <code>stage2=</code>
| |
|
| |
| Specifies a path to a install.img file instead of to an installation source.
| |
| Otherwise, follows the same syntax as <code>repo=</code>. If this parameter
| |
| is provided, it takes precedence over all other methods of finding the
| |
| install.img. Otherwise, anaconda will attempt to find the install.img first on
| |
| any existing CD, and then from the location given by repo=/method=.
| |
|
| |
| If only stage2= is given without repo=/method=, anaconda will use whatever
| |
| repos the installed system would have enabled by default for installation.
| |
| For instance, an install of a Fedora release will attempt to use the Fedora
| |
| mirrorlist given by /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo from that release.
| |
|
| |
| <code>syslog=<host>[[<port>]] </code>
| |
|
| |
| Once installation is up and running, send log messages to the syslog process
| |
| on <host>, and optionally, on port <port>. Requires the remote syslog
| |
| process to accept connections (the -r option).
| |
|
| |
| <code>telnet</code>
| |
|
| |
| Start a telnet server early during installation.
| |
|
| |
| <code>test</code>
| |
|
| |
| Run in test mode, which prevents anaconda from doing much of anything useful
| |
| but can be helpful in debugging.
| |
|
| |
| <code>text</code>
| |
|
| |
| Force text mode install. A text mode install implies that the installed system
| |
| will boot up in runlevel 3 instead of to the graphical login screen.
| |
|
| |
| <code>updates</code>
| |
|
| |
| Prompt for removable media containing updates (bug fixes).
| |
|
| |
| <code>updates=<url></code>
| |
|
| |
| Image containing updates over FTP or HTTP.
| |
|
| |
| <code>upgradeany</code>
| |
|
| |
| Don't require an /etc/redhat-release that matches the expected syntax to
| |
| upgrade.
| |
|
| |
| <code>usefbx</code>
| |
|
| |
| Use the framebuffer X driver instead of attempting to use a
| |
| hardware-specific one.
| |
|
| |
| <code>utf8</code>
| |
|
| |
| Set the TERM variable to vt100.
| |
|
| |
| {{Anchor|vnc}}
| |
| <code>vnc</code>
| |
|
| |
| Enable vnc-based installation. You will need to connect to the machine using
| |
| a vnc client application. A vnc install implies that the installed system
| |
| will boot up in runlevel 3 instead of to the graphical login screen.
| |
|
| |
| <code>vncconnect=<host>[[<port>]] </code>
| |
|
| |
| Once installation is up and running, connect to the vnc client named <host>,
| |
| and optionally use port <port>.
| |
|
| |
| <code>vncpassword=<password></code>
| |
|
| |
| Enable a password for the vnc connection. This will prevent someone from
| |
| inadvertently connecting to the vnc-based installation. Requires <code>vnc</code>
| |
| option to be specified as well. If you have specified <code>vncconnect</code>
| |
| the <password> will not be used unless connection to host is not possible.
| |
|
| |
| <code>wepkey=<key></code>
| |
|
| |
| Use <key> as the wireless key when doing a network installation via a
| |
| wireless network. Requires use of <code>essid</code>. Only makes sense with
| |
| <code>allowwireless</code>.
| |
|
| |
| <code>xdriver=<driver></code>
| |
|
| |
| Use <driver> as the X driver to use during installation as well as on the
| |
| installed system.
