This is a prereq of #95 #96 and #94

We have self.cfg.kickstart_include .. which sticks the kickstart on the image and adds an entry to boot with the kickstart.

It seems that we will just need to make sure the kshandler object is suitable to run an automated install and we should be good.

Good progress. All that remains is figuring out how to tell the kshandler to not interact with the user at the partitioning stage.

{{{

Partition clearing information

clearpart --all --initlabel

autopart

Partitioning for workstations

clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --asprimary
part swap --recommended
part pv.00 --size=1 --grow
volgroup vg0 pv.00
logvol / --name=root --vgname=vg0 --fstype ext3 --size=3000
logvol /var --name=var --vgname=vg0 --fstype ext3 --size=3000
logvol /usr --name=usr --vgname=vg0 --fstype ext3 --size=6000
logvol /data --name=data --vgname=vg0 --fstype ext3 --size=1 --grow
logvol /home --name=home --vgname=vg0 --fstype ext3 --size=1 --grow
}}}

Either of those will do

This actually needs to be coded. (Well just the right switches need to be flipped and it needs to be tested.)

base.py: Starting at line 1025

Is that related to self.cfg.media_virtual? All depends on a good kickstart that answers all questions.

Adding another option to kickstart_include and kickstart_default would imply Revisor builds a kickstart from what we think is best, to fill in the gaps any supplied kickstart may have only to be able to unattended installs. I don't think we should go there.

Running a final test on whether -include and -default do what they are supposed to on CentOS 5 is running, Fedora 7 is confirmed

Confirmed:
