The problem is that kickstart doesn't provide a sufficiently rich language to describe partitioning in a lot of cases (especially when you start removing partitions and the like) and there's no way to ensure a consistent partitioning because you can't know what you've started with. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: It would be a very useful feature to have a "Save kickstart to floppy" after choosing all the installation options, and before starting the actual install. Thus, if anything happens, you could just reinstall from the kickstart, eventually repairing the wrong options, instead of going through the wizard again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Fedora CD 2.Go through the installer 3.Install Actual Results: Anaconda started the installation. Expected Results: Before formatting and installing packages it would be useful to save a kickstart with the chosen options to a floppy, so if anything goes wrong you don't have to choose again the same options, and redo the installation faster.
