This issue has been forwarded to a developer for further action. Is somebody really fixing this probelm? It's been reported since 1999-11-17 and even the rawhide still has this problem. Issues are resolved in the latest installer (available in beta.) |
On a 4G drive the partitions defined in the ks.cfg on the boot floppy are as such; clearpart --all part / --size 150 part /var --size 80 --grow --maxsize 100 part /usr --size 700 --grow --maxsize 800 part swap --size 128 --grow --maxsize 200 part /tmp --size 100 --grow What I get is; Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 155545 43856 103659 30% / /dev/sda7 388693 32 368582 0% /tmp /dev/sda1 2727572 645024 1943992 25% /usr /dev/sda8 326682 9582 300234 3% /var Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda6 partition 522072 0 -1 The / partition is correct, however everything else is skewed slightly. Not that it seemed to choose sizes correctly, I just don't understand why it didn't stop with a 100M /var, an 800M /usr, a 200M swap and give the rest to /tmp. Is there an explination behind this? Below is the ks.cfg in its entirety.
