Hi Bill, Thankfully, our servers are already setup in the noc. We have a need for a new install once a week. While I appreciate the help on the automation and the partitioning,. we are deviating from the problem I'm reporting: How to bypass the VGA prob and use the GUI install while using a KVM setup. Should I escalate this issue to the RedHat bugzilla? If an older version of CentOS/RH was able to skipp that prob successfully,. CentOS 5.x should have that capability, or at least allow to pass a parameter of 'novgaprob' or something like that. Thanks, -Sup. ----- Original Message ----- From: William L.

Maybe this one task can be automated. When I was working on RAS for a NAS, we had to be able to handle different HD configurations and sizes. In the install/recovery image I generated on CD (this was several years past), we used sfdisk to automatically partition the HDs. Using a fixed "root" partition size, we calculated the rest of the disk as a % of available for each desired partition. Worked great. > <snip> HTH -- Bill _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
