This appendix describes commands and options available in Kickstart
installations. For information about how to automate your installation using Kickstart,
see <xref linkend="chap-kickstart-installations" />.

+ <para>
+ While the general principles of Kickstart installations tend to stay the same,
the commands and options can change between major releases of &PRODUCT;. You can use
the <command>ksverdiff</command> command to display the differences between
two versions of the Kickstart syntax. This is useful when updating an existing Kickstart
file to be used with a new release. To display a list of changes in syntax between
&PRODUCT; &PREVVER; and &PRODVER;, use the following command:
+ </para>
+ <screen>
+<prompt>$</prompt> <command>ksverdiff -f F&PREVVER; -t
F&PRODVER;</command>
+ </screen>
+ <para>
+ The <option>-f</option> option specifies the release to start the
comparison with, and the <option>-t</option> option to specify the release to
end with. For additional information, see the
<systemitem>ksverdiff(1)</systemitem> man page. Also note that you can not use
this to display changes in a release that is newer than your system - the version of
<package>pykickstart</package> on &PRODUCT; &PREVVER; can not
display changes in &PRODUCT; &PRODVER;.

+ Additionally, you can review the <citetitle>&PRODUCT; Release
Notes</citetitle>, available at <ulink
url="http://docs.fedoraproject.org/">&PRODUCT;
Documentation</ulink>, for a list of changes.
