Hi,
  I'm working on a completely automated install of FC4x86_64 on a AMD
Opteron 175 box with 16x Western Digital 400GB drives.  The OS is being
installed on a 20GB partition, and the rest of the 5TB are on a single GPT
partition.  The GPT partition will house data that I do not want destroyed
when installing the OS.  Anaconda will warn, however, that this partition
is GPT.  I wish to ignore this fact in the install, but I don't know how
to add in the kickstart to ignore this drive.  Any suggestions?

You'll probably need to include an updates.img in the base/ directory
with a modified partedUtils.py that includes gpt in the valid labels
types for i386.  Look for "archLabels =" in partedUtils.py.

Cheers,

Matt

I don't want to do anything with the GPT partition. I was wondering about a backend way of telling anaconda to ignore the disk. We require a completely automated install. Right now we have to have someone press enter to ignore the partition.

Thanks,
Adam
