A question I just thought of is whether or not we want to support resizing via kickstart installs. My guess is no because resizing is something that really needs to be more interactive than not, but maybe I'm wrong. I think we should come up with a policy on this earlier rather than later.Oh yeah, I was thinking about this yesterday on the way home. I think that the right answer for resizing is "use %pre". Maybe when we come up with a better "language" to describe partitioning, we can integrateresizing. I mean, I guess we could go forpart / --size 2500 --resize --onpart sda1 without a clearpart and get to "working". But I don't think it's as clear and I'd rather not muddy those waters
If I have a bunch of Windows boxes I want to convert to dual-boot, I would value the ability to do it with ks, and I would _not_ want to do it in %pre. Apart from anything else, it's not something I expect anaconda would store in the ks it generates from a manual install.
If that _is_ the way you choose to do it, then you need to have the ntfs toolset available at that time.
btw can you install to free space in this, if it's an 80 Gbyte (or greater) disk?
hda1 NTFS 20 Gbytes hda2 EXT3 10 Gbytes hda3 0x05 20 Gbytes, fully allocated hda4 0x00That's about the setup I tried to install RHEL5 beta and FC6 beta on, and couldn't.
