to the machine using a vnc client application.
vncpassword=<password> Enable a password for the vnc connection. This will
prevent someone from inadvertantly connecting to the
vnc-based installation.
Requires 'vnc' option to be specified as well.
vncconnect=<host>[:<port>] Once installation is up and running, connect to
the vnc client named <host>, and optionally use port <port>.

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
ks Kickstart over NFS.
ks=cdrom: Kickstart from CDROM
ks=nfs:<path> Kickstart from NFS.
ks=<url> Kickstart via HTTP.
ks=hd:<dev> Kickstart via harddrive (dev = 'hda1', for example)
ks=file:<path> Kickstart from a file (path = 'fd0/ks.cfg')
ks=ftp://<path> Kickstart from FTP.
ks=http://<path> Kickstart from HTTP.
kssendmac Adds HTTP headers to ks=http:// request that can be helpful
for provisioning systems. Includes MAC address of all
nics in CGI environment variables of the form:
"X-RHN-Provisioning-MAC-0: eth0 01:23:45:67:89:ab".

method=http://<path> Use <path> for an HTTP installation
method=ftp://<path> Use <path> for an FTP installation
method=hd://<dev>/<path> Use <path> on <dev> for a hard drive installation
method=cdrom Do a CDROM based installation.
vnc Do graphical installation via VNC. Instead of

installation.
vncpassword=<password> Set a password for the vnc session.
