Re: Help!!! Windows partitions getting clobbered!!!....

Ken -

As I understand it (and as would make syntactical sense) this would do exactly that. Clear all partitions on this specific drive. For reasons out of my control *grumble* work forbids it at this moment *grumble*, I'm not able to take a gander at the RH Kickstart guide at the moment - but I would imagine that this is correct.

Hope that helps

I have a follow-up question:  What does

clearpart --all --drives=hda

According to the docs, '--all' means 'Erases all partitions from the system'
which would suggest the '--drives' is meaningless.  Or does it really mean
'Erases all partitions from drive hda'.

Clearpart is supposed to do exactly what it says, clear partitions. Instead of doing 'clearpart --all' try 'clearpart --linux'. That should remove all the linux partions but keep any others.

Good Luck,
Katrina

It appears 'clearpart' is the Kickstart switch to prevent
Windows partitions from getting blasted when "kickstarting"
Fedora Core 3.

I may not be using clearpart correctly (if that is even
the right way?) because I'm blowing away Windows partitions!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Chris
