Yes, I do it all the time. If you use kickstart to install on a machine that already has something on it, you can do one of two things (not just two, but I'll explain the most used scenarios). You can add this to your ks.cfg: zerombr yes clearpart --linux # list your partitions here part /boot --size 500 part swap --size 500 part / --size 3000 --grow This will clear any linux partitions on the disk, and use them for installing the new system. Or, if you have some other operating system on the target computer, use: clearpart --all to wipe out all existing partitions. That should do it.
