Is there a way to do this, especially if I don't know the number and
type of drives installed?  /dev/sda could be an internal SATA drive or
an external USB drive.  I figured my only real choices were to
autopartition everything or force the user to partition manually.  I
chose the former to simplify installation.  Maybe that's not best.

The reason I'm installing from the CD instead of a url is because I
want to support either DHCP or a static IP.  The only way I could
figure out to do this is to run netconfig after install.  This means
that I can't use the network during the install.

I should also point out that I'm using pungi to author the ISO since I
didn't want to write my own script to do that.  Since I'm  on CentOS 5,
I'm using the older version of pungi from FC6 which seems to pull more
packages into the ISO image than are really needed.  Still, I've gotten
it under 300M which isn't too bad.
