A question I just thought of is whether or not we want to support resizing via kickstart installs. My guess is no because resizing is something that really needs to be more interactive than not, but maybe I'm wrong.
I think we should come up with a policy on this earlier rather than later.
Oh yeah, I was thinking about this yesterday on the way home. I think
that the right answer for resizing is "use %pre". Maybe when we come up
with a better "language" to describe partitioning, we can integrate
resizing.
I mean, I guess we could go for
part / --size 2500 --resize --onpart sda1
without a clearpart and get to "working". But I don't think it's as
clear and I'd rather not muddy those waters
If I have a bunch of Windows boxes I want to convert to dual-boot, I
would value the ability to do it with ks, and I would _not_ want to do
it in %pre. Apart from anything else, it's not something I expect
anaconda would store in the ks it generates from a manual install.
If that _is_ the way you choose to do it, then you need to have the ntfs
toolset available at that time.
btw can you install to free space in this, if it's an 80 Gbyte (or
greater) disk?
hda1 NTFS 20 Gbytes
hda2 EXT3 10 Gbytes
hda3 0x05 20 Gbytes, fully allocated
hda4 0x00
That's about the setup I tried to install RHEL5 beta and FC6 beta on,
and couldn't.
