Sane default kickstarts that understand hard disk differences



Fellow Kickstarters,

Cobbler (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) ships some default kickstart files that it provides for users for setting up fully automated installs (users who do not want to write their own kickstarts). I am trying to improve those default kickstarts.

One of the things I want to do is ship a good default kickstart that, on the given system, does a reinstall of the OS using a sane partitioning layout, regardless of whether the boot drive is /dev/hda or /dev/sda, and regardless of size. I don't want to assume IDE drives of a certain size, for instance. That wouldn't be good. A much larger SCSI drive should be usable too, and should result in a larger "/" partition.

Obviously this won't fit everyone's needs, but it is useful for basic/intermediate users. Does anyone have any kickstarts that accomplish this? I realize this is all documented to some extent, though if anyone can share some real life working fully automatic kickstarts that ignore drive size/type would be really great.

Thanks,

Michael DeHaan
