Hey pete! basically, starting to see exactly what a dual boot process is, how it works, how the cfg file is setup, etc.. and as I understand the drive, once can create different partitions, which can then be split to have multiple boot processes. I was looking into how to actually have a process where the masterside, can have an app, that can be run, which then invokes a process on the "hidden" partition/boot process to then reinstall an OS onto the master side.. so I'm really asking two questions: 1) where can i find a test kickstart ks.cfg file to see how to setup dual boot systems, with pre/post actions for both os installs, and 2) is it possible to even have/create a "hidden"/non visible partition? thanks On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 3:18 PM, Pete Travis <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Jan 14, 2014 1:04 PM, "bruce" <badouglas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Hi. >> >> Looking to see how to craft a kickstart (ks.cfg) file by hand that >> demonstrates the overall process of setting up a hidden partition, as >> well as regular partitions on the drive. >> >> I'm looking to play with creating a regular install of centos (or >> whatever) on the main partitions, as well as do some test pre/post >> commands.. >> >> At the same time, I'd like to create a hidden partition that I can >> then do some pre/post functions to play with how the hidden partition >> gets created. >> >> The end goal, would be a test process that would allow me to >> "install"/boot into either side. >> >> As to the hidden partition, I'm assuming that this implies me creating >> a partition that's not viewable from the df -h commands...
