<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
|
|
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst</span></code> (e.g. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst.ks</span></code>). Options specified without the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst</span></code> prefix are
|
|
recognized, but the prefix may be required in a future release.</p>

<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst.repo=hd:<device>:<path></span></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Mount the given disk partition and install from ISO file on the given path.
|

|

<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inst.repo=[http,https,ftp]://<host>/<path></span></code></dt>

|
|
<p>You can specify what version of the NFS protocol to use by adding <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nfsvers=X</span></code>
|
|
to the <cite>options</cite>.</p>
|
|
<p class="last">This accepts not just an installable tree directory in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><path></span></code> element,
