"remove the graphical" means switch it back to "text".
Here is the relevant section of the kickstart: (does prompt for pw):
lang en_US
keyboard us
timezone America/Los_Angeles --utc
rootpw textpw
# rootpw --iscrypted ***********************
reboot
logging --level=debug
graphical
# text
install
autostep --autoscreenshot
driverdisk --type=ext2 --source=http://****/3w9650SE-x86_64-9.4.1.1.img
url --url http://*****/CentOS5
bootloader --location=mbr --append="crashkernel=256M@16M"
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part swap --recommended --ondisk=sda
part /boot --fstype "ext3" --ondisk=sda --size 200
part / --fstype "ext3" --ondisk=sda --size 100000
auth --useshadow --enablemd5
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --hostname=temp --onboot=yes --noipv6
firewall --disabled
selinux --disabled
xconfig --defaultdesktop=gnome --startxonboot --resolution=1024x768 --depth=32
If I uncomment these lines and re-comment their counterparts, then is prompts.
- The prompt is the default password prompt.
- The auth line is in there.
- I don't necessarily need graphical but it's a whole lot nicer due to
the screenshots provided
Any other hints or suggestions?
