You can add a new installclass with the partitioning scheme you
want. Have a look at anaconda's install classes.

Yeah - If  I could substitute in the values somehow, that would rock.
Alas I don't see that anywhere in the docs.

I've almost considered the following:
1) start the install
2) target fetches remote config file
3) target runs script to decide partition sizes
4) target re-writes kickstart file with it's specific values & sends it
back to the server
5) target reboots, fetches it's specific config file & builds itself.
happy happy happy!

Honestly, though. this is probably way too much work.  If I could
somehow just specify the parameters at runtime to anaconda - I'm
currently looking through /instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py to see
what goes on there.

Suggestions welcome!
