Right now, I'm running with parted 1.8.2.  I've also include fdisk in my 
image because I work with systems that must be wiped from time to time.  
Parted does not seem to handle a blank harddrives ( no partitions / no 
anything ).  I run fdisk and have it do a write, and it creates the base 
structure.. then parted takes over w/ no problems.

This is what I do currently.... I let Unattended do the OS install, and 
have it install WPKG which takes over from there.  It really seems like 
a perfect relationship.. :)

One thing I'd like to see ( on top of already suggested items... Vista 
support, etc.. ) would be to make it easier to do a Fully automated 
install.  No user intervention start to finish.  I've done this by 
tweaking the install.pl script to not ask so many questions... but there 
should be an option that it looks for.  I may whip something up and 
submit a patch in a few days..
