Disables access to the root shell during the installation. This is useful with automated (Kickstart) installations - if you use this option, a user can watch the installation progress, but they cannot interfere with it by accessing the root shell by pressing kbd:[Ctrl + Alt + F2].
[option]#inst.lang=#
Sets the language to be used during the installation. Language codes are the same as the ones used in the [command]#lang# Kickstart command as described in xref:appendixes/Kickstart_Syntax_Reference.adoc#sect-kickstart-commands-lang[lang (optional) - Configure Language During Installation]. On systems where the [package]*system-config-language* package is installed, a list of valid values can also be find in `/usr/share/system-config-language/locale-list`.
If you perform the installation interactively, the language you specified using this option will be selected by default, but you will still be able to change it at the beginning of the graphical installation.
[option]#inst.singlelang#
Allows you to run the installation in single language mode - in other words, this option disables language selection for the installer and the installed system. If you also use the [option]#inst.lang=# option at the same time, the language you specify will be used. If you do not set the language, [application]*Anaconda* and the installed system will default to `en-US.UTF-8`.
[option]#inst.geoloc=#
Configures geolocation usage in the installation program. Geolocation is used to pre-set the language and time zone, and uses the following syntax: [option]#inst.geoloc=pass:attributes[{blank}]_value_pass:attributes[{blank}]#
The _value_ parameter can be any of the following:
Valid Values for the inst.geoloc Option
|Disable geolocation|[option]#inst.geoloc=0#
|Use the Fedora GeoIP API|[option]#inst.geoloc=provider_fedora_geoip#
|Use the Hostip.info GeoIP API|[option]#inst.geoloc=provider_hostip#
If this option is not specified, [application]*Anaconda* will use `provider_fedora_geoip`.
[option]#inst.keymap=#
Specifies the keyboard layout to be used by the installation program. Layout codes are the same as the ones used in the [command]#keyboard# Kickstart command as described in xref:appendixes/Kickstart_Syntax_Reference.adoc#appe-kickstart-syntax-reference[Kickstart Syntax Reference].
[option]#inst.text#
Forces the installation program to run in text mode instead of graphical mode. The text user interface is limited, for example, it does not allow you to modify the partition layout or set up LVM. When installing a system on a machine with a limited graphical capabilities, it is recommended to use VNC as described in xref:Boot_Options.adoc#sect-boot-options-vnc[Enabling Remote Access Using VNC].
[option]#inst.cmdline#
Forces the installation program to run in command line mode. This mode does not allow any interaction, all options must be specified in a Kickstart file or on the command line.
[option]#inst.graphical#
Forces the installation program to run in graphical mode. This mode is the default.
[option]#inst.resolution=#
Specifies the screen resolution in graphical mode. The format is _N_pass:attributes[{blank}]xpass:attributes[{blank}]_M_, where _N_ is the screen width and _M_ is the screen height (in pixels). The lowest supported resolution is `800x600`.
[option]#inst.xdriver=#
Specifies the name of the `X` driver to be used both during the installation and on the installed system.
[option]#inst.usefbx#
Tells the installation program to use the frame buffer `X` driver instead of a hardware-specific driver. This option is equivalent to [option]#inst.xdriver=fbdev#.
[option]#inst.xtimeout=#
Specifies a timeout period (in seconds) the installer will wait before starting the [application]*X* server.
[option]#modprobe.blacklist=#
Blacklists (completely disables) one or more drivers. Drivers (mods) disabled using this option will be prevented from loading when the installation starts, and after the installation finishes, the installed system will keep these settings. The blacklisted drivers can then be found in the `/etc/modprobe.d/` directory.
Use a comma-separated list to disable multiple drivers. For example:
