Hi!
I have started and have been working with KickStart for the last 6hrs...
I got the system booted, got the installation started...but my problem is this.
I have a 40GB HDD and want to create paritions like this


/dev/hda1 FAT32 --- C: -- 6GB
/dev/hda2 FAT32 Extended
/dev/hda5 FAT32 --- D: -- 14GB
/dev/hda6 Linux --- / -- 8GB
/dev/hda7 Swap -- 300MB
/dev/hda8 Linux --- /home -- Rest

What ever combination of options I use in ks.cfg I'm not able to create the above partition table. I have tried forcing all as primary except "/" and swap. But it doesn't accept.
I have forced / to be primary and it readily accepts and gives me a partition table where /dev/hda1 is mounted on to /
What ever I do, it always wants to install linux in /dev/hda1, otherwise it says I won't work...
How do I overcome this??
How can I create the above table using KickStart??
I need the solution ASAP...so pls help me out...

using the a comercial tool creat such as partionmagic creat a linux pation at the beging of the drive and move the FAT32 to the end. Intall Linux as u would like pation tables, packages ,etc. once the linux is up and running there will be a file called /root/anaconda-ks.cfg rename this file to ks.cfg and u have the kickstart disk created as u like.

do this without backing up your data
