so where's the partition size info? i would have assumed that the
whole point of this generated file would be to support creating another
host practically identical to this one. it's kind of tough to do that
when you have no partition size info stored in the file.
The lines in anaconda-ks.cfg mirror what you specify interactively. In
this case you apparently recycled almost all your old partitions.
Note that --size and --onpart are mutually exclusive. It doesn't make
sense to specify the size for an existing partition.
Also keep in mind the reason these lines are always commented. These
partition lines may need to be modified before they will work on another
machine. Even on the same machine, the you can have problems. Consider
something like.
clearpart --all --linux
part / --fstype ext3 --size 2048 --grow
part /win --fstype vfat --size 1024
part swap --size 512
Every successive install on the same machine will create a new vfat
partition, but the old one will stick around. Eventually an install
will fail because of lack of space.
