vncpassword=<password>  Enable a password for the vnc connection. This will
                prevent someone from inadvertantly connecting to the

                Requires 'vnc' option to be specified as well.

vncconnect=<host>[:<port>]   Once installation is up and running, connect to
                the vnc client named <host>, and optionally use port <port>.

                Requires 'vnc' option to be specified as well.

updates         Prompt for floppy containing updates (bug fixes).

updates=ftp://<path> Image containing updates over FTP.

dd              Use a driver disk.

driverdisk      Same as 'dd'.

mediacheck	Activates loader code to give user option of testing integrity
		of install source (if an ISO-based method).

nomount         Don't automatically mount any installed Linux partitions 
                in rescue mode.

                testing keyboard and mouse config screens in stage2 installer
                during network installs.


serial          Turns on serial console support.

ksdevice        Takes one of 4 types of argument which tells install
                what network device to use for kickstart from network:

		- An argument like 'eth0' naming a specific interface
		- An argument like 00:12:34:56:78:9a indicating the
		  MAC address of a specific interface
		- The keyword `link' indicating that the first
		  interface with link up
		- The keyword `bootif' indicating that the MAC address
		  indicated by the BOOTIF command line option will be
		  used to locate the boot interface. BOOTIF is
		  automagically supplied by pxelinux when you include
		  the option `IPAPPEND 2' in your pxelinux.cfg file

ks              Kickstart over NFS.

ks=cdrom:       Kickstart from CDROM

kssendmac	Adds HTTP headers to ks=http:// request that can be helpful
                for provisioning systems.  Includes MAC address of all
		nics in CGI environment variables of the form:
                "X-RHN-Provisioning-MAC-0: eth0 01:23:45:67:89:ab".

dhcpclass=<class> Sends a custom DHCP vendor class identifier. ISC's dhcpcd can

		expected syntax to upgrade.

lang=<lang>	Language to use for the installation.  This should be a

method=hd://<dev>/<path> Use <path> on <dev> for a hard drive installation

method=cdrom     Do a CDROM based installation.

vnc             Do graphical installation via VNC.  Instead of
                starting a normal X server, vncserver will be started
                and you can then connect remotely to do the
                installation.

vncpassword=<password>  Set a password for the vnc session.

vncconnect=<host>[:<port>]   Once installation is up and running, connect to
                the vnc client named <host>, and optionally, on port <port>.
