--autoscreenshot — Take a screenshot at every step during installation and copy the images over to /root/anaconda-screenshots after installation is complete. This is most useful for documentation.

--enablemd5 — Use md5 encryption for user passwords.

--enablenis — Turns on NIS support. By default, --enablenis uses whatever domain it finds on the network. A domain should almost always be set by hand with the --nisdomain= option.

--nisdomain= — NIS domain name to use for NIS services.

--nisserver= — Server to use for NIS services (broadcasts by default).

--useshadow or --enableshadow — Use shadow passwords.

--enableldap — Turns on LDAP support in /etc/nsswitch.conf, allowing your system to retrieve information about users (UIDs, home directories, shells, etc.) from an LDAP directory. To use this option, you must install the nss_ldap package. You must also specify a server and a base DN (distinguished name) with --ldapserver= and --ldapbasedn=.

--enableldapauth — Use LDAP as an authentication method. This enables the pam_ldap module for authentication and changing passwords, using an LDAP directory. To use this option, you must have the nss_ldap package installed. You must also specify a server and a base DN with --ldapserver= and --ldapbasedn=.

--ldapserver= — If you specified either --enableldap or --enableldapauth, use this option to specify the name of the LDAP server to use. This option is set in the /etc/ldap.conf file.

--ldapbasedn= — If you specified either --enableldap or --enableldapauth, use this option to specify the DN in your LDAP directory tree under which user information is stored. This option is set in the /etc/ldap.conf file.

--enableldaptls — Use TLS (Transport Layer Security) lookups. This option allows LDAP to send encrypted usernames and passwords to an LDAP server before authentication.

--enablekrb5 — Use Kerberos 5 for authenticating users. Kerberos itself does not know about home directories, UIDs, or shells. If you enable Kerberos, you must make users' accounts known to this workstation by enabling LDAP, NIS, or Hesiod or by using the /usr/sbin/useradd command. If you use this option, you must have the pam_krb5 package installed.

--krb5realm= — The Kerberos 5 realm to which your workstation belongs.

--krb5kdc= — The KDC (or KDCs) that serve requests for the realm. If you have multiple KDCs in your realm, separate their names with commas (,).

--krb5adminserver= — The KDC in your realm that is also running kadmind. This server handles password changing and other administrative requests. This server must be run on the master KDC if you have more than one KDC.

--enablehesiod — Enable Hesiod support for looking up user home directories, UIDs, and shells. More information on setting up and using Hesiod on your network is in /usr/share/doc/glibc-2.x.x/README.hesiod, which is included in the glibc package. Hesiod is an extension of DNS that uses DNS records to store information about users, groups, and various other items.

--hesiodlhs — The Hesiod LHS ("left-hand side") option, set in /etc/hesiod.conf. This option is used by the Hesiod library to determine the name to search DNS for when looking up information, similar to LDAP's use of a base DN.

--hesiodrhs — The Hesiod RHS ("right-hand side") option, set in /etc/hesiod.conf. This option is used by the Hesiod library to determine the name to search DNS for when looking up information, similar to LDAP's use of a base DN.

--enablesmbauth — Enables authentication of users against an SMB server (typically a Samba or Windows server). SMB authentication support does not know about home directories, UIDs, or shells. If you enable SMB, you must make users' accounts known to the workstation by enabling LDAP, NIS, or Hesiod or by using the /usr/sbin/useradd command to make their accounts known to the workstation. To use this option, you must have the pam_smb package installed.

--smbservers= — The name of the server(s) to use for SMB authentication. To specify more than one server, separate the names with commas (,).

--smbworkgroup= — The name of the workgroup for the SMB servers.

--enablecache — Enables the nscd service. The nscd service caches information about users, groups, and various other types of information. Caching is especially helpful if you choose to distribute information about users and groups over your network using NIS, LDAP, or hesiod.

--append= — Specifies kernel parameters. To specify multiple parameters, separate them with spaces. For example:

bootloader --location=mbr --append="hdd=ide-scsi ide=nodma"

--driveorder — Specify which drive is first in the BIOS boot order. For example:

bootloader --driveorder=sda,hda

--location= — Specifies where the boot record is written. Valid values are the following: mbr (the default), partition (installs the boot loader on the first sector of the partition containing the kernel), or none (do not install the boot loader).

--password= — If using GRUB, sets the GRUB boot loader password to the one specified with this option. This should be used to restrict access to the GRUB shell, where arbitrary kernel options can be passed.

--md5pass= — If using GRUB, similar to --password= except the password should already be encrypted.

--upgrade — Upgrade the existing boot loader configuration, preserving the old entries. This option is only available for upgrades.

--all — Erases all partitions from the system.

--drives= — Specifies which drives to clear partitions from. For example, the following clears all the partitions on the first two drives on the primary IDE controller:

clearpart --drives=hda,hdb --all

--initlabel — Initializes the disk label to the default for your architecture (for example msdos for x86 and gpt for Itanium). It is useful so that the installation program does not ask if it should initialize the disk label if installing to a brand new hard drive.

--linux — Erases all Linux partitions.

--none (default) — Do not remove any partitions.

<type> — Replace with either scsi or eth.

<moduleName> — Replace with the name of the kernel module which should be installed.

--opts= — Mount options to use for mounting the NFS export. Any options that can be specified in /etc/fstab for an NFS mount are allowed. The options are listed in the nfs(5) man page. Multiple options are separated with a comma.

<partition> — Partition containing the driver disk.

--type= — File system type (for example, vfat or ext2).

--enabled or --enable — Reject incoming connections that are not in response to outbound requests, such as DNS replies or DHCP requests. If access to services running on this machine is needed, you can choose to allow specific services through the firewall.

--disabled or --disable — Do not configure any iptables rules.

--trust= — Listing a device here, such as eth0, allows all traffic coming from that device to go through the firewall. To list more than one device, use --trust eth0 --trust eth1. Do NOT use a comma-separated format such as --trust eth0, eth1.

<incoming> — Replace with one or more of the following to allow the specified services through the firewall.

--port= — You can specify that ports be allowed through the firewall using the port:protocol format. For example, to allow IMAP access through your firewall, specify imap:tcp. Numeric ports can also be specified explicitly; for example, to allow UDP packets on port 1234 through, specify 1234:udp. To specify multiple ports, separate them by commas.

--enable or --enabled — The Setup Agent is started the first time the system boots.

--disable or --disabled — The Setup Agent is not started the first time the system boots.

--reconfig — Enable the Setup Agent to start at boot time in reconfiguration mode. This mode enables the language, mouse, keyboard, root password, security level, time zone, and networking configuration options in addition to the default ones.

cdrom — Install from the first CD-ROM drive on the system.

harddrive — Install from a Red Hat installation tree on a local drive, which must be either vfat or ext2.

Например:

или:

url --url ftp://<пользователь>:<пароль>@<сервер>/<папка>

--target —

--port= —

--user= —

--password= —

--skip — Skip entering a key. Usually if the key command is not given, anaconda will pause at this step to prompt for a key. This option allows automated installation to continue if you do not have a key or do not want to provide one.

--noformat — Use an existing logical volume and do not format it.

--useexisting — Use an existing logical volume and reformat it.

--fstype= — Sets the file system type for the logical volume. Valid values are ext2, ext3, swap, and vfat.

--fsoptions= — Sets the file system type for the logical volume. Valid values are ext2, ext3, swap, and vfat.

--bytes-per-inode= — Specifies the size of inodes on the filesystem to be made on the logical volume. Not all filesystems support this option, so it is silently ignored for those cases.

--grow= — Tells the logical volume to grow to fill available space (if any), or up to the maximum size setting.

--maxsize= — The maximum size in megabytes when the logical volume is set to grow. Specify an integer value here, and do not append the number with MB.

--recommended= — Determine the size of the logical volume automatically.

--percent= — Specify the size of the logical volume as a percentage of available space in the volume group.

--host= — Send logging information to the given remote host, which must be running a syslogd process configured to accept remote logging.

--port= — If the remote syslogd process uses a port other than the default, it may be specified with this option.

--level= — One of debug, info, warning, error, or critical.

Данный параметр определяет минимальный уровень критичности сообщений, выводимых на tty3. Однако в журнал будут записаны все сообщения независимо от уровня.

--hsync= — Specifies the horizontal sync frequency of the monitor.

--monitor= — Use specified monitor; monitor name should be from the list of monitors in /usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB from the hwdata package. The list of monitors can also be found on the X Configuration screen of the Kickstart Configurator. This is ignored if --hsync or --vsync is provided. If no monitor information is provided, the installation program tries to probe for it automatically.

--noprobe= — Do not try to probe the monitor.

--vsync= — Specifies the vertical sync frequency of the monitor.

--bootproto= — One of dhcp, bootp, or static.

По умолчанию выбран режим dhcp. Параметры bootp и dhcp работают одинаково.

В режиме DHCP для получения сетевой конфигурации используется DHCP-сервер. Как вы могли догадаться, в случае с BOOTP для получения сетевых настроек подобным образом используется сервер BOOTP. Чтобы настроить компьютер на использование DHCP, укажите:

network --bootproto=dhcp

Чтобы настроить компьютер на получение сетевой конфигурации с помощью BOOTP, добавьте в файл кикстарта строку:

network --bootproto=bootp

В случае статической конфигурации вы должны определить в файле кикстарта все необходимые сетевые параметры. Как и следует из имени, эти параметры являются статическими и используются как во время, так и после установки. Строка для статической настройки выглядит более сложной, так как вы должны задать все сетевые параметры в одной строке. Необходимо указать IP-адрес, маску сети, шлюз и сервер имен. Например (обратный слэш показывает, что строка разбита на две исключительно для удобства представления):

network --bootproto=static --ip=10.0.2.15 --netmask=255.255.255.0 \
--gateway=10.0.2.254 --nameserver=10.0.2.1

Если вы используете статическую настройку, учтите следующее:

--device= — Used to select a specific Ethernet device for installation. Note that using --device= is not effective unless the kickstart file is a local file (such as ks=floppy), since the installation program configures the network to find the kickstart file. For example:

network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0

--ip= — IP address for the machine to be installed.

--gateway= — Default gateway as an IP address.

--nameserver= — Primary nameserver, as an IP address.

--maxsize= — The maximum partition size in megabytes when the partition is set to grow. Specify an integer value here, and do not append the number with MB.

--noformat — Tells the installation program not to format the partition, for use with the --onpart command.

--onpart= or --usepart= — Put the partition on the already existing device. For example:

partition /home --onpart=hda1

размещает /home на устройстве /dev/hda1, которое уже должно существовать.

--ondisk= or --ondrive= — Forces the partition to be created on a particular disk. For example, --ondisk=sdb puts the partition on the second SCSI disk on the system.

--asprimary — Forces automatic allocation of the partition as a primary partition, or the partitioning fails.

--type= (replaced by fstype) — This option is no longer available. Use fstype.

--fstype= — Sets the file system type for the partition. Valid values are ext2, ext3, swap, and vfat.

--end= — Specifies the ending cylinder for the partition. It requires that the starting cylinder be specified with --start=.

--bytes-per-inode= — Specifies the size of inodes on the filesystem to be made on the partition. Not all filesystems support this option, so it is silently ignored for those cases.

--recommended — Determine the size of the partition automatically.

--onbiosdisk — Forces the partition to be created on a particular disk as discovered by the BIOS.

<mntpoint> — Location where the RAID file system is mounted. If it is /, the RAID level must be 1 unless a boot partition (/boot) is present. If a boot partition is present, the /boot partition must be level 1 and the root (/) partition can be any of the available types. The <partitions*> (which denotes that multiple partitions can be listed) lists the RAID identifiers to add to the RAID array.

--level= — RAID level to use (0, 1, or 5).
