For a detailed example of volgroup in action, refer to Section 31.4.1, “ Advanced
Partitioning Example” .
xconfig ( op t io n al)
Configures the X Window System. If this option is not given, the user must configure X
manually during the installation, if X was installed; this option should not be used if X is not
installed on the final system.
--driver — Specify the X driver to use for the video hardware.
--videoram= — Specifies the amount of video RAM the video card has.
--defaultdesktop= — Specify either GNOME or KDE to set the default desktop
(assumes that GNOME Desktop Environment and/or KDE Desktop Environment has
been installed through %packages).
--startxonboot — Use a graphical login on the installed system.
--resolution= — Specify the default resolution for the X Window System on the
installed system. Valid values are 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024,
1400x1050, 1600x1200. Be sure to specify a resolution that is compatible with the video
card and monitor.
--depth= — Specify the default color depth for the X Window System on the installed
system. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, and 32. Be sure to specify a color depth that is
compatible with the video card and monitor.
zerombr ( op t io n al)
If zerombr is specified any invalid partition tables found on disks are initialized. This
destroys all of the contents of disks with invalid partition tables.
Note that this command was previously specified as zerombr yes. This form is now
deprecated; you should now simply specify zerombr in your kickstart file instead.
zfcp ( o p t io nal)
Define a Fiber channel device (IBM System z).
zfcp [--devnum=<devnum>] [--fcplun=<fcplun>] [--scsiid=<scsiid>] [--
scsilun=<scsilun>] [--wwpn=<wwpn>]
%include ( o p t io n al)
Use the %include /path/to/file command to include the contents of another file in the
kickstart file as though the contents were at the location of the %include command in the
kickstart file.
