Hi Kent,
I believe you can use percentages as sizes,
which if you do would mean that you would still only need one partitioning
definition. I am not sure how intelligent autopart is and if it also just uses
percentages.

Subject: Using autopart under RHEL
5.1 kickstart - resizing default /bootsize
I am using autopart to automate the creation of
partitions and logical volumes during a kickstart install (RHEL5.1). The
default size of the /boot partitions created by autopart is 100 meg. I am
looking for a way to increase this default size of /boot when autopart created
the partition. Is there a way to do this?
I have played with part but have not found an easy method
to change the default in autopart without having to write a lot of code around
the whole proces and create the LV
volumes myself. I've got a lot of different hardware environments, so,
I'd like autopart to do some of the work for me.
Here is the code currently being used to automate the creating the partitions
and Logical Volumes. NOTE: The ${IGNORE_DRIVES} variable can change
from machine to machine and is set by my own code but can be removed without
affecting default autopart partition sizes.
$pre
autopart
ignoredisk –drives=${IGNORE_DRIVES}
This code creates default partitions and logical volumes as advertised by the
RHEL 5 kickstart document. The manuals claim that part can be used to
change the default partition sizes that autopart creates. So far, I have
not been able to change the /boot partition from 100 mb.
Thanks.
