The file
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/keyboard_models.py
also contains
this list and is part of the
rhpl
package.
lang
(required)
Sets the language to use during installation and the default language to use on the installed
system. For example, to set the language to English, the kickstart file should contain the following
line:
lang en_US
The file
/usr/share/system-config-language/locale-list
provides a list of the valid
language codes in the first column of each line and is part of the
system-config-language
package.
Certain languages (mainly Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indic languages) are not supported
during text mode installation. If one of these languages is specified using the lang command,
installation will continue in English though the running system will have the specified langauge by
default.
langsupport
(deprecated)
The langsupport keyword is deprecated and its use will cause an error message to be printed to
the screen and installation to halt. Instead of using the langsupport keyword, you should now list
the support package groups for all languages you want supported in the
%packages
section of
your kickstart file. For instance, adding support for French means you should add the following to
%packages
:
@french­support
logvol
(optional)
Create a logical volume for Logical Volume Management (LVM) with the syntax:
logvol <mntpoint> ­­­vgname= <name> ­­­size= <size> ­­­name= <name> <options>
The options are as follows:
•
--noformat
— Use an existing logical volume and do not format it.
•
--useexisting
— Use an existing logical volume and reformat it.
•
--fstype=
— Sets the file system type for the logical volume. Valid values are
xfs
,
ext2
,
ext3
,
ext4
,
swap
,
vfat
, and
hfs
.
•
--fsoptions=
— Specifies a free form string of options to be used when mounting the
filesystem. This string will be copied into the
/etc/fstab
file of the installed system and
should be enclosed in quotes.
