4.4.3.1. Kernel Options
Options can also be passed to the kernel. For example, to apply updates for the anaconda installation
program from a floppy disk enter:
linux updates
For text mode installations, use:
linux text updates
This command will prompt you to insert a floppy diskette containing updates for anaconda. It is not
needed if you are performing a network installation and have already placed the updates image
contents in
rhupdates/
on the server.
After entering any options, press
Enter
to boot using those options.
If you need to specify boot options to identify your hardware, please write them down. The
boot options are needed during the boot loader configuration portion of the installation (refer to
Section 4.20, “x86, AMD64, and Intel

for more information).
For more information on kernel options refer to
