Many thanks to all, with your answers they are successful to improve my
procedures of pxe setup.

But my question (formulated badly, I'm sorry for my bad English) it was
another.

I would want make the disk partitions, and mkfs, from a shell command
line procedure.

Now I manually use this procedure on my pc whit fc4:

# fdisk -l /dev/hda

add a new disk on hdb and manually, whit fdisk /dev/hdb, I recreate some
partition, then lvm, and mkfs on the new hdb disk.

Therefore the question is: it is possible to create a python procedure
(or someone has already create it) that uses as
includes /usr/lib/anaconda files, and that reading from a KS syntax file
(that I manually compile, like my first example), write to the new disc
the partitions and recreate the filesystem, like the setup do ??

I hope to have explained well my question ... or this is a question for
anaconda ML?

Many thanks to all!!
