<p>These are the boot options that are useful when starting Anaconda. For more
information refer to the appropriate Installation Guide for your release and
to the <a class="reference external" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda">Anaconda wiki</a>.</p>
<p>Anaconda bootup is handled by dracut, so most of the kernel arguments handled
by dracut are also valid. See <a class="reference external" href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html#dracutcmdline7">dracut.kernel(7)</a> for details on those options.</p>
<p>Throughout this guide, installer-specific options are prefixed with
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst</span></tt> (e.g. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst.ks</span></tt>). Options specified without the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst</span></tt> prefix are
recognized, but the prefix may be required in a future release.</p>

<div class="section" id="gdb">
<h3>gdb<a class="headerlink" href="#gdb" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>This was used to debug <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">loader</span></tt>, so it has been removed. There are plenty of
options for debugging dracut-based initramfs - see the dracut &#8220;Troubleshooting&#8221; guide.</p>

<div class="section" id="inst-mediacheck">
<h3>inst.mediacheck<a class="headerlink" href="#inst-mediacheck" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Use the dracut option rd.live.check instead.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="ks-floppy">
<h3>ks=floppy<a class="headerlink" href="#ks-floppy" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>We no longer support floppy drives. Try <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst.ks=hd:&lt;device&gt;</span></tt> instead.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="display">
<h3>display<a class="headerlink" href="#display" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>For remote display of the UI, use <a class="reference internal" href="#inst-vnc">inst.vnc</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="utf8">
<h3>utf8<a class="headerlink" href="#utf8" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>All this option actually did was set <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TERM=vt100</span></tt>. The default <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TERM</span></tt> setting
works fine these days, so this was no longer necessary.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="noipv6">
<h3>noipv6<a class="headerlink" href="#noipv6" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>ipv6 is built into the kernel and can&#8217;t be removed by anaconda.</p>
<p>You can disable ipv6 with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ipv6.disable=1</span></tt>. This setting will be carried onto
the installed system.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="upgradeany">
<h3>upgradeany<a class="headerlink" href="#upgradeany" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Anaconda doesn&#8217;t handle upgrades anymore.</p>
