Description James A. Peltier 2013-12-12 01:40:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
We require that a shell not be available during installation because we have machines running in open lab areas.  We use the noshell option to disable the ability for users to circumvent the protections we put in place.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot beta installation media with noshell option
2. 
3.

Actual results:

shell is still available

Expected results:

no shell available during installation

This really isn't going to be possible. systemd opens terminals on unused tty's and we now use tmux as a shell for anaconda on tty1 so a simple ctrl-B 2 will get them a shell.
