Autopartitioning fails because I have to put all of my Linux partitions above the 1024th cylinder. I have a new bios and booting above the 1024th cylinder is not a problem; I just need to force kickstart to do the partitioning the way I tell it to. Is there some sort of an undocummented '--force' option to the part directive or to Disk Druid directly? Can I specify that kickstart use fdisk instead? Tony
