Hello everyone

I have a machine with several disks and I want to install it
with auto_install.
On one disk I want to have swap and root (system data)
and on the others data like home (User data).
The disk containing the system data should get wiped clean,
freshly partitioned and installed, the other disks should not
get touched, I want to keep the User data on it.
On
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/drakx/auto_inst.html
I found the option "partitioning -> clearall".
Unfortunatly this is a all or nothing option. Either
auto_install wipes the partitiontables on all disks or
automatic partitioning is not possible (at least I got
a error message when combining partition definitions
with 'clearall' => 0 ).
- Did I miss some option ?
- Is it possible to partition just a single disk ?

I found a line on
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/drakx/auto_inst.html :
"Pixel said something about 'hda' instead of a boolean????"
- Does this mean, that an effort is made to extend the clearall -
(Boolean)variable to a list of disks, which should get wiped and
repartitioned ?
I would be very happy about it ;)


greetings
Michael
