Fellow Kickstarters,
Cobbler (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) ships some default kickstart
files that it provides for users for setting up fully automated installs
(users who do not want to write their own kickstarts). I am trying to
improve those default kickstarts.
One of the things I want to do is ship a good default kickstart that, on
the given system, does a reinstall of the OS using a sane partitioning
layout, regardless of whether the boot drive is /dev/hda or /dev/sda,
and regardless of size. I don't want to assume IDE drives of a certain
size, for instance.
That wouldn't be good. A much larger SCSI drive should be usable too,
and should result in a larger "/" partition.
Obviously this won't fit everyone's needs, but it is useful for
basic/intermediate users. Does anyone have any kickstarts that
accomplish this? I realize this is all documented to some extent,
though if anyone can share some real life working fully automatic
kickstarts that ignore drive size/type would be really great.
Thanks,
Michael DeHaan
