clearpart tells kickstart how to clear the partition table.

Well, the docs seem pretty clear:
clearpart (optional)
Removes partitions from the system, prior to creation of new
partitions. By default, no partitions are removed.
--all
Erases all partitions from the system.
[...]
--linux
Erases all Linux partitions.
--none (default)
Do not remove any partitions.
(from
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html
)
So "clearpart --linux" should do the trick to erase existing Linux
partitions but keep others.
