# Kickstart

The CentOS installation iso uses the Anaconda installer to install CentOS.

During the installation it will ask you some questions and it will also

store your anwsers in the `/root/anaconda-ks.cfg` (aka kickstart) file.

This file is later used to fully automate a new installation by specifying

its location in the `inst.ks` kernel command line argument.
