{{{allowwireless}}}

    Experimental option to allow use of wireless networking adapters in the loader.

    Hat Linux CD in your CD-ROM drive.

{{{asknetwork}}}

    Prompt for network configuration in the first stage of installation
    regardless of installation method.

{{{autostep}}}

    debugging.

{{{blacklist=<module>}}}

    Do not automatically load module <module>, even if the hardware exists on the system.

{{{cmdline}}}

    Force command line install mode.  This mode simply prints out text and does
    not allow any interactivity.  All options must be specified either in a
    kickstart file or on the command line.

{{{dd}}} or {{{driverdisk}}}

    Use a driver disk.

{{{debug}}}

    Add a debug button to the UI that allows dropping into a python debugger.

{{{dhcpclass=<class>}}}

    Sends a custom DHCP vendor class identifier.  ISC's dhcpcd can inspect this
    value using "option vendor-class-identifier".

{{{dhcptimeout=<sec>}}}

    Stop attempting to get a DHCP lease after <sec> seconds.

{{{display=<DISPLAY>}}}

    Sets the $DISPLAY environment variable.

{{{dns=<dns>}}}

    Comma separated list of nameservers to use for a network installation.

{{{essid=<essid>}}}

    Connect to the wireless network given by <essid> for a network installation.
    Only makes sense with {{{allowwireless}}}.

{{{ethtool=<opts>}}}

    Specify certain additional network device settings.  Valid options are
    duplex={full,half} and speed={1000,100,10}.  Multiple options may be given
    as a string separated by spaces and surrounded by double quotes.

{{{gateway=<gw>}}}

    Gateway to use for a network installation.

{{{graphical}}}

    Force graphical install.  Required to have ftp/http use GUI.

{{{headless}}}

    Specify that the machine being installed onto does not have any display
    hardware, and that anaconda should not probe for it.

{{{ip=<ip>}}}

    IP to use for a network installation, use 'dhcp' for DHCP.

{{{ipv6=<ipv6>}}}

    IPv6 IP address to use for a network installation. Use 'auto' for automatic neighbor discovery.

{{{keymap=<keymap>}}}

    Keyboard layout to use.  Valid values are those which can be used for the
    {{{keyboard}}} kickstart command.

    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

{{{kssendmac}}}

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

{{{lang=<lang>}}}

    Otherwise, follows the same syntax as {{{method=}}}.

{{{syslog=<host>[:<port>]}}}

    on <host>, and optionally, on port <port>.  Requires the remote syslog
    process to accept connections (the -r option).

{{{telnet}}}

    Start a telnet server early during installation.

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

{{{vncpassword=<password>}}}

    Enable a password for the vnc connection. This will prevent someone from 
    inadvertently connecting to the vnc-based installation.  Requires {{{vnc}}}
    option to be specified as well.  If you have specified {{{vncconnect}}}
    the <password> will not be used unless connection to host is not possible.

{{{wepkey=<key>}}}

    Use <key> as the wireless key when doing a network installation via a
    wireless network.  Requires use of {{{essid}}}.  Only makes sense with
    {{{allowwireless}}}.
