For example: > part pv.01 --size 3000 > volgroup myvg pv.01 > logvol / --vgname=myvg --size=2000 --name=rootvol Aye... precisely the issue. There's no way to get around the partition is would seem. Is there perhaps another way to get this configure using a %pre script? Or do I need to start looking at adding functionality to anaconda? _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
