Installation guide

keyboard (required)
Sets system keyboard type. Here is the list of available keyboards on i386, Itanium, and Al-
pha machines:
be-latin1, bg, br-abnt2, cf, cz-lat2, cz-us-qwertz, de, de-latin1,
de-latin1-nodeadkeys, dk, dk-latin1, dvorak, es, et, fi, fi-latin1,
fr, fr-latin0, fr-latin1, fr-pc, fr_CH, fr_CH-latin1, gr, hu, hu101,

The file /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/keyboard_models.py also contains this list
and is part of the rhpl package.
lang (required)
Sets the language to use during installation and the default language to use on the installed
system. For example, to set the language to English, the kickstart file should contain the fol-
lowing line:
lang en_US
The file /usr/share/system-config-language/locale-list provides a list of the valid lan-
guage codes in the first column of each line and is part of the system-config-language pack-
age.
Certain languages (mainly Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indic languages) are not sup-
ported during text mode installation. If one of these languages is specified using the lang
command, installation will continue in English though the running system will have the spe-
cified langauge by default.
langsupport (deprecated)
The langsupport keyword is deprecated and its use will cause an error message to be prin-
ted to the screen and installation to halt. Instead of using the langsupport keyword, you
should now list the support package groups for all languages you want supported in the
%packages section of your kickstart file. For instance, adding support for French means you
should add the following to %packages:
@french-support
logvol (optional)
Create a logical volume for Logical Volume Management (LVM) with the syntax:
logvol <mntpoint> --vgname=<name> --size=<size> --name=<name><options>
The options are as follows:
--noformat
Use an existing logical volume and do not format it.
--useexisting
Use an existing logical volume and reformat it.
