You can do something like this in %pre to create partitioning information,
write it to a file (/tmp/partitions in this example), and then %include that
file in your ks.cfg...
%pre --interpreter /usr/bin/python
# load the modules needed to make this work
import os, sys
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/anaconda')
import isys
# get a sorted list of drives
drives = isys.hardDriveDict().keys()
drives.sort()
# write the include file to /tmp/kspart, drives[0] is the first drive,
# drives[1] is the second, etc. To get the filet to be used, put
# '%include /tmp/partitions' in your kickstart configuration.
f = open("/tmp/partitions", "w")
f.write("part / --size 1500 --ondisk %s\n" % drives[0])
f.write("part /boot --size 1500 --ondisk %s\n" % drives[0])
f.write("part /usr --size 1500 --ondisk %s\n" % drives[0])
f.write("part /var --size 1500 --ondisk %s\n" % drives[0])
f.write("part /home --size 1500 --ondisk %s --grow\n" % drives[0])
f.close()
