The KS file as created during my manual installation
I used this file as the basis for my automatic installation ks file. I
uncommented the clearpart, part, volgroup, and logvol commands.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: The /root/anaconda-ks.cfg as written by the installer during a manual installation of FC3T3 isn't syntactically correct for use during a real install. In particular, the part commands as written do not have a --size option, just --grow. Yet, when installing with this file, anaconda will die because of this missing option. I can make arguments for two possible ways to resolve this. First, write an appropriate --size argument that matches the current hardware when creating the file during an install. Second, when --grow is provided on a command line, --size should be optional. In this case, the partition should use all available space. When --size is provided with --grow, the argument provides the minimum size the partition should be. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install FC3t3 2. use created /root/anaconda-ks.cfg for an installation 3. Actual Results: Installation dies, due to missing argument. It's kind of an ugly death, involving python tracebacks instead of human readable error messages. Expected Results: The same installation I just performed should be performed again. Additional info:
