--vsync sync
Specifies the vertical sync frequency of the monitor.

Sets the default desktop to either GNOME or KDE (and assumes that GNOME
and/or KDE has been installed through %packages).

1.4.28. zerombr — Partition Table Initialization
zerombr (optional)
If zerombr is specified, and yes is its sole argument, any invalid partition tables found
on disks are initialized. This will destroy all of the contents of disks with invalid parti-
tion tables. This command should be in the following format:
zerombr yes
No other format is effective.
1.4.29. %packages — Package Selection
Use the %packages command to begin a kickstart file section that lists the packages you
would like to install (this is for installations only, as package selection during upgrades is
not supported).
