                during network installs.


serial          Turns on serial console support.

ksdevice        Takes one of 4 types of argument which tells install
                what network device to use for kickstart from network:

		- An argument like 'eth0' naming a specific interface
		- An argument like 00:12:34:56:78:9a indicating the
		  MAC address of a specific interface
		- The keyword `link' indicating that the first
		  interface with link up
		- The keyword `bootif' indicating that the MAC address
		  indicated by the BOOTIF command line option will be
		  used to locate the boot interface. BOOTIF is
		  automagically supplied by pxelinux when you include
		  the option `IPAPPEND 2' in your pxelinux.cfg file

                HTTP_X_RHN_PROVISIONING_0, HTTP_X_RHN_PROVISIONING_1, etc, for
                all nics.

		expected syntax to upgrade.

lang=<lang>	Language to use for the installation.  This should be a
		language which is valid to be used with the 'lang' kickstart

		  on some Cisco switches

method=nfs:<path> Use <path> for an NFS installation.
