All, Following up on my previous email, I have implemented a patch that auto-detects the source and kickstart devices. The file can be downloaded from http://www.abodiosoftware.com/patches/anaconda-11.2.0.19_abodio_autodetect.p atch and is for Anaconda Version #11.2.0.19. Please consider this patch for inclusion in the anaconda sources. As a reminder, this patch allows the kickstart and method options to be specified at the command line as follows (note the empty partition section between the two colons): ks=hd::/path/to/ks.cfg, and method=hd::/path/to/install/files And, within the kickstart file, a hard drive install can be specified as follows (note the lack of a --partition directive): harddrive --dir=/path/to/install/files This patch is modified slightly from the one I had initially provided. The original patch selected the first partition encountered with the kickstart/install files on it. This (new) patch gives the user more control and: * if the number of partitions with the file/directory is 0, do nothing, or * if the number of partitions with the file/directory is 1, use that one, or * else pop up the dialog box and ask the user which partition to use. Thanks much, Uday.
