The following parameters can be passed onto the installer via kernel command line parameters.
h2. Display settings

* forceXvesa

if dhcp is NOT used, then the following are required:
-
cnetmask - set the netmask
-
cgateway - set the default gateway
-
cdns - set a dns server
example: cip=ip cnetmask=255.255.255.0 cgateway=192.168.1.1 cdns=192.168.1.1
chostname
cnetdev
* chostname – Set the hostname for the server
