Yes, I know how that is sometimes.

Anyway, the anaconda-ks.cfg file has all the partitioning information  
removed by default.  I *think* I had to un-comment it to get the  
kickstart process to be completely automated.  Try un-commenting  
everything starting from the clearpart line to the last logvol line  
to see if that helps.

Well, if you have the CDs, you can still use the ks.cfg file and just  
swap the CDs when prompted.  Or for that matter, answer all the  
prompts manually if you are just boostrapping the first system.  It's  
when you have to set up multiple systems that kickstart comes in handy.
