I am trying kickstart for the first time, and am running into something I don't see described in the documentation.
Somewhere between me and my purchasing department and Dell, my order for 6 PE 1850s was changed from "no installed OS" to WIndows. So I received the boxes with Windows pre-installed.
I would like to delete the NTFS partition with Windows, but keep the Dell Utility partition on the first partition. In the documentation for kickstart, I see options for
deleting linux partitions deleting all partitions
but not one for deleting one or more specific partitions.
Am I right about this? Thanks,

Correct. In this case, you can either delete by hand, or run a script in the %pre section of your kickstart file, e.g.
%pre parted rm 2
