You can also install centos using FAI (http://fai-project.org) which
was announced in this mail:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2011-September/117878.html
It has a pretty nice partitioning tool called setup-storage which uses
a configuration file similar to fstab. Here's one example.
disk_config disk1 fstabkey:uuid preserve_reinstall:7,8
primary / 7G-15G ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro createopts="-m15"
logical swap 2G-4G swap rw
logical /tmp 3G-15G ext4 rw,noatime
logical /srv 20G-30G ext4 rw,noatime
logical /home 1G- ext4 rw,noatime,nosuid,nodev
IMO it's much more easier to do the hard disk setup this way,
especially if you do multiple installations.
