English Chinese (Simplified Han script)
Options in this list are *deprecated*. They will still work, but there are other options which offer the same functionality and should be preferred. Using deprecated options is not recommended and they are expected to be removed in future releases.
 
Note that as described in the introduction to this chapter, options specific to the installation program now use the `inst.` prefix. For example, the [option]#vnc=# option is considered deprecated and replaced by the [option]#inst.vnc=# option. However, these changes are not listed here.
 
[option]#inst.headless#
 
Used to specify that the machine being installed onto does not have any display hardware, and to prevent the installer from trying to detect a display.
 
[option]#method=#
 
Configured the installation method. Use the [option]#inst.repo=# option instead.
 
[option]#repo=nfsiso:pass:attributes[{blank}]_server_:/pass:attributes[{blank}]_path_pass:attributes[{blank}]#
 
In NFS installations, specified that the target is an ISO image located on an NFS server instead of an installable tree. The difference is now detected automatically, which means this option is the same as [option]#inst.repo=nfs:pass:attributes[{blank}]_server_:/pass:attributes[{blank}]_path_pass:attributes[{blank}]#.
 
[option]#dns=#
 
Configured the Domain Name Server (DNS). Use the [option]#nameserver=# option instead.
 
[option]#netmask=#, [option]#gateway=#, [option]#hostname=#, [option]#ip=#, [option]#ipv6=#
 
These options have been consolidated under the [option]#ip=# option.
 
[option]#ksdevice=#
 
Select network device to be used at early stage of installation. Different values have been replaced with different options; see the table below.
 
|Value|Current behavior
|Not present|All devices are attempted to be activated using `dhcp`, unless desired device and configuration is specified by [option]#ip=# option and/or the [option]#BOOTIF# option.
|[option]#ksdevice=link#|Similar to the above, with the difference that network will always be activated in the initramfs, whether it is needed or not. The supported [option]#rd.neednet# option (provided by [application]*dracut*) should be used instead.
|[option]#ksdevice=bootif#|Ignored (the BOOTID= option is used by default when specified)
|[option]#ksdevice=ibft#|Replaced with the [option]#ip=ibft# option
|[option]#ksdevice=pass:attributes[{blank}]_MAC_pass:attributes[{blank}]#|Replaced with [option]#BOOTIF=pass:attributes[{blank}]_MAC_pass:attributes[{blank}]#
|[option]#ksdevice=pass:attributes[{blank}]_device_pass:attributes[{blank}]#|Replaced by specifying the device name using the [option]#ip=# option.
 
When performing a Kickstart installation, booting from local media and having the Kickstart file on local media as well, the network will not be initialized. This means that any other Kickstart options requiring network access, such as pre-installation or post-installation scripts accessing a network location, will cause the installation to fail. This is a known issue; see BZ#link:++https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085310++[1085310] for details.
 
To work around this issue, either use the [option]#ksdevice=link# boot option, or add the [option]#--device=link# option to the [command]#network# command in your Kickstart file.
 
[option]#blacklist=#
 
Used to disable specified drivers. This is now handled by the [option]#modprobe.blacklist=# option.
 
[option]#nofirewire=#
