Hi, Yes we need one too. I tried "fdisk /dev/hda" but that resulted in "unable to open /dev/hda". Then I tried "fdisk hda" and of course that did not work either: infact there are no hd* devices during kickstart pre. I tried parted, but it is more complex than fdisk and I am obviously not very complex;) Blair.
