+ Full documentation of Kickstart commands and options is now in the rhinstaller/pykickstart Github repository as well: <ulink url="https://github.com/rhinstaller/pykickstart/blob/master/docs/kickstart-doc..." />. The version on the Fedora Wiki has been removed.

+ The advanced storage section of the <guilabel>Manual Partitioning</guilabel> screen now allows adding zFCP storage devices.

Also note that the user must either be <systemitem>root</systemitem>, or it must exist (must be created by the <command>user</command> command in the Kickstart file, or by a package specified in the <command>%packages</command> section).

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ New section: <command>%anaconda</command>. This section can now be used in a Kickstart file to control the behavior of the installer, but not the installed system.

+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--minquality=</option> - Minimum allowed quality of the password, as calculated by <systemitem>libpwquality</systemitem>. If the <option>--strict</option> option is used, passwords with lower quality will not be allowed. If <option>--notstrict</option> is used, using a password of lower than specified quality will display a warning require the user to click <guilabel>Done</guilabel> twice in the graphical user interface to confirm. The default quality value is <literal>50</literal>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>

+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--notstrict</option> - Passwords with lower quality than specified in <option>--minquality</option> will be accepted, but <application>Anaconda</application> will display a warning and require the user to click <guilabel>Done</guilabel> twice before accepting the password.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>

+ <option>--emptyok</option> - Allow empty passwords. This is the default.

+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--nochanges</option> - Passwords set in the Kickstart file can not be changed in the GUI. This is the default.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <para>
+ The defaults are set in the <filename>/usr/share/anaconda/interactive-defaults.ks</filename> file provided by <application>Anaconda</application> on installation media.
