If you add the --interactive flag, you can watch the kickstart as it happens in an "xm console". This is helpful for debugging and is highly recommended until you're sure your kickstarts are fully automated. To exit, use the usual Ctrl + right bracket you use to exit an xm console. For re-kickstarting ('--replace-self'), this means reprovisioning the system, blowing away any current data and replacing it with the results of a network install. |
