	I have been experimenting with some kickstart files to automate installs (it also includes Cobbler snippets). But I get failures about errors in kickstart files when Anaconda launches. I want to get a shell to troubleshoot the problem. How do I do that? Right now I have a screen that says:

	 

	The system will be rebooted when you press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Alt+Del.

	 

	The message also says that the Anaconda version is 13.21.149. I’m trying to install RHEL 6.2 Server.

	 

	Thanks
