I recall seeing the discussion about the defaults a while ago, and I am
willing to live within the new constraints. Is it a documentation error
now?
For instance, I have no idea what you mean by: "You're not specifying an
option for how much you want cleared from the disk ..."
I don't see any way to specify more than --drives sda (which does not work).
Is there another form of it?
You need to supply one of: --all, --linux, or --none. The default is
--none. In F7 anaconda, this is broken. I've committed a fix to CVS to
where if you don't specify any of those three options, you will get
--none just like you always have.
For now, you can work around it by specifying whichever of those three
you mean.
Verified that this works without throwing an error:
#Partition clearing information
clearpart --drives=sda --all --initlabel
Now we will see if my usb thumb drive, from which I am installing, gets
crushed. :)
I does with just this:
#Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
Thank you!
I need a faster test machine! My developer distro (1397 packages) is
taking nearly an hour to install from a USB2 (15MB/sec) thumb drive. :(
