You can specify the partition to reformat you want in a kickstart file or don't specify any partitioning in your ks file. Go into "manual partition" and just select 'Edit' for the partition that you want. Select "Format" and "/". A bunch of redhat versions automatically reuse your swap partition as well, but otherwise they leave everything the same. regards, dan carpenter
