Clicked send to quickly.  I know that the file name that I am looking for 
is inittab, however, none of the image files seem to contain it. In fact, 
after the kickstart installation has begun and the virtual terminals 
become available there is no /etc/inittab, so it would seem to me that 
this would need to be created *or* that it is looking at/for something 
else.  Can anyone confirm how I can disable the CTRL+ALT+F2 terminal 
window during installation?  It poses a security risk for unattended 
installs.
