Installation guide

table. The --only-use option specifies that only the disks listed will be used during
installation.
The ignoredisk option is also useful if you have multiple paths to your disks.
The syntax is:
ignoredisk --drives=drive1,drive2,...
where driveN is one of sda, sdb,..., hda,... etc.
--only-use — specifies a list of disks for the installer to use. All other disks are
ignored. For example, to use disk sda during installation and ignore all other disks:
ignoredisk --only-use=sda
autostep ( o p t io n al)
Similar to interactive except it goes to the next screen for you. It is used mostly for
debugging and should not be used when deploying a system because it may disrupt
package installation.
--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.
auth o r authconfig ( req uired )
Sets up the authentication options for the system. It is similar to the authconfig command,
which can be run after the install. By default, passwords are normally encrypted and are
not shadowed.
--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=.
