Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 4 System Administration Manual page 37

The shutdown option is roughly equivalent to the shutdown command.
For other completion methods, refer to the halt, poweroff, and reboot kickstart options.
skipx (optional)
If present, X is not configured on the installed system.
text (optional)
Perform the kickstart installation in text mode. Kickstart installations are performed in graphical
mode by default.
timezone (required)
Sets the system time zone to <timezone> which may be any of the time zones listed by
timeconfig.
timezone [--utc] <timezone>
--utc
If present, the system assumes the hardware clock is set to UTC (Greenwich Mean) time.
upgrade (optional)
Tells the system to upgrade an existing system rather than install a fresh system. You must
specify one of cdrom, harddrive, nfs, or url (for FTP and HTTP) as the location of the
installation tree. Refer to install for details.
xconfig (optional)
Configures the X Window System. If this option is not given, the user must configure X manually
during the installation, if X was installed; this option should not be used if X is not installed on the
final system.
--noprobe
Do not probe the monitor.
--card=
Use specified card; this card name should be from the list of cards in /usr/share/hwdata/
Cards from the hwdata package. The list of cards can also be found on the X Configuration
screen of the Kickstart Configurator. If this argument is not provided, the installation
program probes the PCI bus for the card. Since AGP is part of the PCI bus, AGP cards
are detected if supported. The probe order is determined by the PCI scan order of the
motherboard.
--videoram=
Specifies the amount of video RAM the video card has.
--monitor=
Use specified monitor; monitor name should be from the list of monitors in /usr/share/
hwdata/MonitorsDB from the hwdata package. The list of monitors can also be found on
the X Configuration screen of the Kickstart Configurator. This is ignored if --hsync or --
vsync is provided. If no monitor information is provided, the installation program tries to probe
for it automatically.
--hsync=
Specifies the horizontal sync frequency of the monitor.
