"vga=" may not be "a kickstart setting" but it is a grub kernel line argument that can be set through the kickstart "bootloader" command's "--append=" option. I know how to set the gfxmode (I've been using grub2 since the alpha of Ubuntu 9.10 and the canonical way is to edit "/etc/default/grub" and regenerate grub.cfg and not to edit "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" - or "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" on Fedora - as you seem to be suggesting), so thanks for the grub.cfg edit but my question remains unanswered. Is there a way - other than through "%post" - to end up, for example, with a "set gfxmode=$desired-resolution" line in grub.cfg rather than adding "vga=$desired-resolution" to the grub.cfg "linux" line? -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
