Installation guide

28 Chapter 1. Kickstart Installations

--location=

Speciﬁes where the LILO boot record is written. Valid values are the following:

mbr (the default) or partition (installs the boot loader on the ﬁrst sector of the

partition containing the kernel). If no location is speciﬁed, LILO is not installed.

--lba32

Forces the use of lba32 mode instead of autodetecting.

1.4.16. lilocheck

lilocheck (optional)

If lilocheck is present, the installation program checks for LILO on the MBR of the

ﬁrst hard drive, and reboots the system if it is found — in this case, no installation is

performed. This can prevent kickstart from reinstalling an already installed system.

1.4.17. mouse

mouse (required)

Conﬁgures the mouse for the system, both in GUI and text modes. Options are:

--device

dev

Device the mouse is on (such as --device ttyS0).

--emulthree

If present, simultaneous clicks on the left and right mouse buttons will be recog-

nized as the middle mouse button by the X Window System. This option should be

used if you have a two button mouse.

After options, the mouse type may be speciﬁed as one of the following:

alpsps/2, ascii, asciips/2, atibm, generic, generic3,

genericps/2, generic3ps/2, genericusb, generic3usb,

geniusnm, geniusnmps/2,geniusprops/2, geniusscrollps/2,

geniusscrollps/2+, thinking, thinkingps/2, logitech,

logitechcc, logibm, logimman, logimmanps/2, logimman+,

logimman+ps/2, logimmusb, microsoft, msnew, msintelli,

msintellips/2, msintelliusb, msbm, mousesystems, mmseries,

mmhittab, sun, none

If the mouse command is given without any arguments, or it is omitted, the in-

stallation program will attempt to autodetect the mouse. This procedure works for

most modern mice.
