Have you done this with CentOS/RH/OLE 6? They've crippled it. In a marketing move that, again in my arrogant opinion, ranks up there with Windows Genuine Advantage, they'll tell you that they've streamlined and simplified it. I think the rationale was that they decided to put their efforts into a GUI install and it was too much work to continue the functionality of the text mode. You'd have to dig through the Fedora testing list, I think. However, kickstart functionality remains, so you can always use a kickstart file, and that will enable you to do partitioning, and package selection. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: The world is what it is---we fight, we die.
