I realy need this as i will have no idea about the configuration of the
box that will be used to install it on
Any part of the config that you do not specify defaults back to normal
anaconda behavior. If you don't tell it how to partition, the user gets
control.
However, what I do is autopartition and let the installer make the
appropriate decisions based upon what it see's at install time. I make
conservative (manual) assumptions about the monitor (1024x768.16 @
60hz), etc.
My nontechnical users install on everything from creaky old 64mb HP
Pavillions to brand spanking new Dell P4's with the same CD set and
without ever having to answer a question, and they do it mostly without
issue. The most common problem by far is flaky cdrom readers that don't
read the CD or read it incorrectly. (And I don't care what people tell
me about crc's and stuff. In my experience, cdrom readers will happily
return invalid data without indicating an error.)
