Description Jos Vos 2001-01-08 17:40:55 UTC
The --asprimary flag to the kickstart 'part' command does not accept a
parameter, unlike the --onprimary flag. But the Reference Guide mentions
the same syntax as --onprimary.

Comment 1 Anders Blomdell 2001-01-31 11:19:39 UTC
In my opinion the documentation is right, but the implementation is wrong (I 

therfore suggest that this bug should be reassigned as an anaconda bug):



  Without the possibility to specifiy on what number a newly created partition  

  should have, this option is not very useful.



I'll try to find a good solution to what should be done, and post a followup.

A workable fix seems to be:

Reassigned to anaconda component and changed summary to exclude the word
documentation

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-06 20:39:26 UTC
--asprimary does NOT take arguments. --onprimary does.
