Select the system keyboard type from the
Keyboard
menu.
From the
Time Zone
menu, choose the time zone to use for the system. To configure the system to
use UTC, select
Use UTC clock
.
Enter the desired root password for the system in the
Root Password
text entry box. Type the same
password in the
Confirm Password
text box. The second field is to make sure you do not mistype
the password and then realize you do not know what it is after you have completed the installation.
To save the password as an encrypted password in the file, select
Encrypt root password
. If
the encryption option is selected, when the file is saved, the plain text password that you typed is
encrypted and written to the kickstart file. Do not type an already encrypted password and select to
encrypt it. Because a kickstart file is a plain text file that can be easily read, it is recommended that an
encrypted password be used.
Select the
Specify installation key
checkbox to provide an installation key.
Choosing
Target Architecture
specifies which specific hardware architecture distribution is used
during installation.
Choosing
Reboot system after installation
reboots your system automatically after the installation is
finished.
Kickstart installations are performed in graphical mode by default. To override this default and use text
mode instead, select the
Perform installation in text mode
option.
You can perform a kickstart installation in interactive mode. This means that the installation program
uses all the options pre-configured in the kickstart file, but it allows you to preview the options in each
screen before continuing to the next screen. To continue to the next screen, click the
Next
button after
you have approved the settings or change them before continuing the installation. To select this type of
installation, select the
Perform installation in interactive mode
option.
