Installation guide
--groups= — In addition to the default group, a comma separated list of group names
the user should belong to. The groups must exist before the user account is created.
--homedir= — The home directory for the user. If not provided, this defaults to
/home/<username>.
--password= — The new user's password. If not provided, the account will be locked
by default.
--iscrypted= — Is the password provided by --password already encrypted or not?
--shell= — The user's login shell. If not provided, this defaults to the system default.
--uid= — The user's UID. If not provided, this defaults to the next available non-system
UID.
vnc ( o pt io n al)
Allows the graphical installation to be viewed remotely via VNC. This method is usually
preferred over text mode, as there are some size and language limitations in text installs.
With no options, this command will start a VNC server on the machine with no password
and will print out the command that needs to be run to connect a remote machine.
vnc [--host=<hostname>] [--port=<port>] [--password=<password>]
--host= — Instead of starting a VNC server on the install machine, connect to the VNC
viewer process listening on the given hostname.
--port= — Provide a port that the remote VNC viewer process is listening on. If not
provided, anaconda will use the VNC default.
--password= — Set a password which must be provided to connect to the VNC
session. This is optional, but recommended.
volgroup ( o p t io n al)
Use to create a Logical Volume Management (LVM) group with the syntax:
volgroup <name> <partition> <options>
The partition is described in the form pv.<id>. Any value can be assigned for <id> fields,
as long as these values are consistent across volumes and volume groups. The default
and lowest value is 01.
The options are as follows:
--noformat — Use an existing volume group and do not format it.
--useexisting — Use an existing volume group and reformat it.
--pesize= — Set the size of the physical extents.
Create the partition first, create the logical volume group, and then create the logical
volume. For example:
part pv.01 --size 3000
volgroup myvg pv.01
logvol / --vgname=myvg --size=2000 --name=rootvol
