Then use the new include directive in 7.3 to include the ks snippets you create with your %pre into the ks.cfg file. We added sfdisk to the runtime environment so people could do their custom partitioning in the %pre and then create a ks snippet describing their partitions via --onpart and including them later. It was much better sounding than the hack of creating a ks.cfg in the %pre and restarting anaconda with it (tho very clever at the time)! Michael Fulbright msf@xxxxxxxxxx
